Wives with Knives

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large fresh pineapple
  • 2 cups additional pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup crushed ginger snaps
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 Tbl. dark rum we used Myers

Instructions
 

  • Slice the pineapple in half with leaves intact. Cut the core from each pineapple half and discard. With a small sharp knife carefully cut the remaining pineapple out of the shell. Cut into 1-inch cubes and combine with additional 2 cups of pineapple chunks.
  • Combine coconut, gingersnap cookies and macadamia nuts. Set aside.
  • Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and dark rum. Set aside.
  • In the cored pineapple halves, layer half pineapple chunks, sprinkle half of coconut/gingersnap mixture, drizzle of half sweet condensed milk/rum mixture; repeat.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly; about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't brown too quickly. Tent with foil if necessary.
