This had a lovely fresh taste, and the juices from the pineapple, along with the lime, tequila and sugar, made a delicious syrup. I made it exactly as instructed. I used superfine sugar as I felt it would dissolve easier. The dish I used was 11" by 7". Next time I'd choose a smaller dish, to better retain the juices while cooking. We enjoyed it with icecream. The only down-side to this recipe is the cost. Fortunately, I had some tequila already, but the pineapple wasn't cheap either. Then again, it is out of season in Oz. Next time I'll make it in spring/summer. -
THis was awesome but of course you have to add a cup of tequila because its a whole huge pinapple and you want to soak it thouroughly. You want to soak it like a watermelon with barcardi 151. I did add a little marguarita mix with the tequila. when it come out the oven my friends and I sprinkle salt on our arms and lick the salt then eat the pinapple its like a shot also it helps to add about 1/4 cup of gin. -
I tryed this and it was so good but instead of pinapple (yik!) I use broclea that has good vitemins and my kid's LOVE broclea sooooo much. i did konw if thats ok to give kids tequila but most it don't taste like alcahol!!! yumm!

I live just outside the Big Apple. I am passionate about my husband, my kids, my cats, my friends, reading, cooking, and Santa Fe. I love "Marcella Cucina" and have enjoyed everything I made from it, but on a daily basis I use Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything".
My pet peeve is procrastinators - don't they know it's ALWAYS later than you think????
