Ingredients
  

For the Rum Soaked Fried Pineapple
  • 1 medium pineapple peeled, cored, and sliced into rings
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Deep Skillet or Frying Pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper Towels
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the dark rum, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Step 2: Add the pineapple rings to the rum mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the coconut milk, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Step 4: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pineapple rings from the rum mixture, dip each ring into the batter, and carefully place into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  6. Step 6: Use a slotted spoon to remove the pineapple from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Choose a ripe pineapple for better sweetness. Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.
