Pineapple with mint sugar is an easy and delicious little summer dish. We use it as both a dessert, a quick snack, or as part of a tasty tapas spread, or as a sweet addition to a brunch table. Read on to get the easy recipe.
Easy Pineapple Dessert with Mint
This little dish is perfect as a summer dessert, a quick snack, or a sweet treat on a breakfast table.
For dessert, it can be served with a dollop of vanilla custard, vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream if desired.
It is advisable to prepare the dish a few hours before serving; it benefits from standing and marinating in the refrigerator, which gives the pineapple a wonderful flavor.
Pineapple with mint sugar is also always on the table as a dessert for brunch. It’s such a refreshing bite-sized treat that you always have room for, even after eggs, bacon, and sausages.
It’s also a little snack that our children love, and if there’s any left after the evening’s dessert, they can easily take it in a small container for their packed lunch.
Ingredient notes
Pineapple – A good ripe pineapple, but not overly ripe.
Cane sugar – Regular cane sugar gives the best result. If you don’t have cane sugar, you can use regular white sugar as a substitute if necessary.
Mint – Fresh mint. You can buy it at the supermarket or grow it in your garden.
