Pineapple Grilled Fish

This style of seafood dish compliments of my Canadian friend, Lee. He suggested to me how to grill fish he had tried before. When he went deep sea fishing and then camped on a deserted island, eating pineapples, he had this idea of what to do with the pineapple skins.
He says eat this will see moon rise half hour early, see shooting stars streaking across the sky.
Lee, thank you very much for this delicious and unique recipe.

1 tbsp lime juice


1/  Process pineapple in a blender or food processor until pureed.
2/  Scrape the puree into a pan and add the superfine sugar; cook about 5 minutes until reduced by 1/3 (mixture should be thick, but not as thick as preserves so you can add a little water to thin out).
3/  Meanwhile, make the caramel by placing the granulated sugar in a heavy pan and cook over medium heat until the edges start to caramelize, shake pan, do not stir.

 Garnish this silky smooth pineapple pudding with grilled pineapple flowers.
