Technique
To prepare your pineapple skewers:
remove the leafy crown with sharp knife, and cut a thin slice from the base
slice the skin away from the top to bottom, removing any ‘eye’ as you go
carefully cut the pineapple lengthways, and then into thick wedges
remove the tough central core and discard
chop each wedge into bite sized chunks
once the pineapple is prepared, you may start threading roughly 7-8 chunks of pineapple onto each wooden skewer
To prepare the creamy caramel sauce
in a small solid based saucepan, on a medium heat, stir continuously Alexandrina Pure Jersey Cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract and salt, until the sugar bubbles start to rise.
take off the heat and cool, before transferring to a serving dish and small serving spoon
to serve simply drizzle the creamy caramel sauce on to the pineapple skewers
to finish sprinkle with coconut shards
