• Pineapple with Molasses & Lime Zest

    Since it’s summer, we’ve been thinking about new fresh and light recipes, especially desserts.  After trying this dessert at Boqueria, a great local tapas restaurant, we’d found our winner.  It’s a strange sounding combination, but somehow pineapple, lime zest, and molasses combine to make a healthy, and surprisingly delicious dessert. Just slice a pineapple into quarters, add the zest of a small lime, and drizzle with molasses. Since I’ve got half a ripe pineapple already, I made a delicious fresh pineapple juice. One of our favorite variations is to blend it with mint.
