Ingredients
  

For the Rum Soaked Fried Pineapple
  • 1 ripe pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into rings
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Coating
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coconut oil for frying

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Frying Pan or Skillet
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper Towels
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or fork
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine dark rum, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add pineapple rings, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to prepare the dry mixture.
  3. Step 3: Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
  4. Step 4: Remove soaked pineapple rings, letting excess liquid drip off. Dredge each ring in the dry flour mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Carefully place the coated pineapple rings into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to turn them gently.
  6. Step 6: Transfer fried pineapple to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, drizzled with additional rum syrup if desired.
