Poached pineapple in cinnamon syrup with yogurt cheese

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Plain yogurt
¼ cup Sugar
⅛ teaspoon Cinnamon
1 cup Fresh pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon Dark rum

Directions

In a fine sieve let the yogurt drain, covered and chilled, for 40 minutes.

While the yogurt is draining, in a small saucepan combine the sugar, the cinnamon, and ¾ cup water and boil the mixture for 5 minutes. Stir in the pineapple, simmer the mixture, covered, for 8 minutes, and transfer the pineapple with a slotted spoon to a metal bowl. Boil the syrup until it is reduced to about ½ cup, add the rum, and boil the syrup for 1 minute.

Pour the syrup over the pineapple and chill the mixture, set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water.

Divide the yogurt cheese between 2 bowls and spoon the pineapple mixture over it.

Serves 2.
