How to Make Pineapple Flowers

How to Make Pineapple Flowers

How to Make Pineapple Flowers

Ingredients
  • One pineapple
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Directions
Step 1
Pre heat oven to 250F
Step 2
Cut off top and outside rind on the pineapple
Step 3
Scoop or cut out any thorns still on the fruit
Step 4
With a large chefs knife cut thin slices. The thiner they are the faster and better results you will get.
Step 5
Place the silpats or parchment on the baking sheets
Step 6
Place each slice onto the silpats. Its ok of the touch.
Step 7
Sprinkle a little bit of sugar on each slice on both sides.
Step 8
Put into the oven for about 30 – 40 minutes depending on your stove. You may need to lower the heat to 250F if necessary depending on your oven so they won’t burn. I personally think the brown edges are prettier and taste better.
Step 9
In the meantime, gather your muffin tins.
Step 10
Once the pineapple slices are at the color you desire, transfer each one to the muffins tins and set them in the cups.They will fold naturally like flowers. Make sure you do this while they are still warm to take shape.
Step 11
Let cool and cover with a tea towel to set up overnight is best.
Step 12
Enjoy now or use for decoration!

These gorgeous dried and sugared Pineapple Flowers may look intimidating but if juts take some time to get everything together it will be well worth it! I made these specifically for a Pina Colada Cake pictured above. This was my first time and they came out great so I know you can do this. I was so pleased. Whatever I didn’t put on the cake was eaten right away but you can make these ahead of time and keep them in an airtight container for up to a week. Maybe more depending on the climate.
They naturally make that cute center blossom and floral shape when they dry out. Pineapples can do more than just be added to recipes fresh in their fresh state. Drying them in the oven gives them a sweet chewy texture and amped up pineapple taste. These impressive little sweets are so easy to make and can be eaten as is or use to decorate cakes, breads, or use on a fruit platter. How cute would these be in miniature by using fresh baby pineapples! I really love how they came out to decorate my Pina Colada Cake. You will need: 2 baking sheets 2 silpat mats or parchment paper Muffin tins
