Pineapple has a complex perfume and is both tart and sweet - so try it in this update of a retro classic.

1/2 very ripe pineapple, quartered, cut into 1cm-thick slices
1/4 cup (65g) finely grated palm sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) dark rum
1/3 cup (80ml) coconut milk
Mint leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat grill to high. Arrange pineapple in a baking dish with a handle, sprinkle with palm sugar and grill for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
2.

Meanwhile, warm the rum in a small saucepan over low heat, then pour over the pineapple slices. Light a match and carefully flame the alcohol, tilting the pan away from yourself. When the flame extinguishes itself, drizzle fruit with coconut milk, sprinkle with torn mint leaves and serve from the dish.
