ingredients

  • cream cheese
  • ½ pineapple
  • ⅖ cup light syrup
  • 1 pineapple ring
  • 6 - 8 cape gooseberries
  • bunch of fresh mint leaves

preparation

Preparation

1. Cut the pineapple as thin as possible. You might want to use a mandolin or another kind of slicer. Cut away the edge of the pineapple. Now brush the slices with light syrup and put them on a baking sheet.

2. Bake/dry the pineapples between 30-45 minutes at 248 Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius). The baking time depends on the thickness so keep an eye on them. They may get a little color but the primary purpose for them is to dry.

3. Top the dried and crispy pineapple slices with a bit of cream cheese and half of a pineapple cherry. Decorate with a couple of mint leaves.
