Pineapple Recipes

  • Hummingbird Cake
  • Virgin Pina Colada/Pinecoco smoothie
Pineapple

Ananas comosus

Pineapples are the fruit of a bromeliad with stiff spiny leaves. The can be grown from the ‘pineapple top’ or from slips which grow on existing plants. They can take around 2 years to develop a fruit so require a spot where they will not be disturbed. Pineapple is used fresh or dried in sweet and savory dishes. The pineapple skins can be boiled in water for 10 minutes to make a refreshing drink

Buy your fresh organic pineapples from the Organic Farmers Market when they’re in season.


Hummingbird Cake

Ingredients

Cake

  • 450g of (chunky) blended pineapple
  • 1.5 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

  • 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup mashed (over ripe) bananas

  2. Grease a 20 x 20 cm square baking tin (or 23 cm round baking tin), and line the base with baking paper.

  4. In a large bowl, beat eggs, brown sugar and vegetable oil.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas.
  6. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and gradually add to mixture while stirring.
  7. Add coconut and then the pineapple and pineapple juice, and mix until combined.
  8. Pour into prepared baking tin and cook for approximately 1 hour, or until cooked (tested with a skewer).

  10. Cream cheese frosting: beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  11. Beat in icing sugar gradually, until smooth.
  12. Spread on top (and sides) of cake.
