Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  1. Put the chopped banana, water, and rum in the hand blender cup, and blend. Set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, cook the sugar until it takes on an intense golden color.
  3. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and remove the pulp with a knife.
  4. Add the vanilla pulp to the caramel, along with the black pepper and the sliced ginger.
  5. Add the blended banana and let it cook until it gains a little thickness.
  6. Set this syrup aside to cook the pineapple in it.
  7. Peel the pineapple, cut it into rings, and remove the central core.
  8. If you want the pineapple to look more presentable, trim its edges with an aluminum ring mold and remove the central core with another small ring mold.
  9. Place the pineapple rings in a frying pan and cover them with the syrup.
  10. Cook them over low heat for 20 minutes and turn the slices from time to time.
  11. The caramel should have a syrupy texture.
  12. If you see that it thickens too much and there is still cooking time left, you can add a little water.
  13. Plate the pineapple slices accompanied by a scoop of ice cream and some mint leaves.
