A warm, comforting spiced pineapple dish simmered in apple cider and infused with aromatic cinnamon and cloves, sweetened naturally with honey or maple syrup. Perfect as a cozy fall dessert or a flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 pound fresh pineapple, sliced

Liquids

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the sliced pineapple into a saucepan and pour in the apple cider. This creates the flavorful base for your simmering mixture.
  2. Add spices: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and ground cloves evenly over the pineapple and cider. Stir gently to distribute the spices throughout the mixture.
  3. Simmer gently: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the fruity aroma to fill your kitchen as the cider begins to bubble slightly.
  4. Add sweetness: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey or maple syrup. This balances the spices and enhances the pineapple’s natural sweetness.
  5. Cook until tender: Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple becomes tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Finish and remove from heat: Once the sauce is fragrant and syrupy and the pineapple soft, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Serve warm: Spoon the warm spiced pineapple into bowls or serve as a flavorful side dish to enjoy the cozy aroma and layered flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
  • Apple cider can be substituted with orange juice for a different citrus note.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
  • This dish can be served warm or chilled, depending on preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
