Pineapple, stuffed (w/cherries+nuts)
1 large ripe pineapple
1 cup heavy cream
6 Tablespoons powdered confectioners sugar
12 canned cherries in syrup, chopped
1/2 cup pine nuts, finely chopped
Keeping the leaves intact, cut a slice off the top of
the pineapple and reserve.
Scoop out the pulp, core it, and finely chop it.
Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff.
Gently fold in the chopped pineapple, cherries, and
pine nuts.
Spoon back into pineapple shell, and refrigerate for
2 hours until the filling sets lightly.
Makes 8 servings.
(If you refrigerate longer, the color of the cherries
runs unattractively into the whipped cream.)
Note:
This makes a very good filling to use between layers of
a white cake.
