Pineapple Bewitchery


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 258

Ingredients

1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup sugar
2 pieces fresh ginger, peeled and cut 1/4 inch thick
1 stick cinnamon (3 inches)
1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
2/3 to 3/4 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup pralines and cream or favorite vanilla ice cream

Directions:

Place a strainer over a medium bowl. Line a baking sheet with freezer paper. Set aside.

Combine the water, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the pineapple and blend well. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pineapple mixture to come to room temperature. When the pineapple mixture is cool, transfer it to the strainer over the bowl (discard the liquid and cinnamon stick). Place the pineapple on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour or more.

When you are ready to make the smoothie, place the pineapple juice, pineapple, and ice cream in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Pineapple Chip (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
