pineapple is pretty much awesome. admittedly, it's not an apple, and it doesn't taste/smell like pine, but that's beside the point. and baking a pineapple should make it twice as awesome. especially if it's done to look like how (a surprisingly cheerful) gordon ramsay cooks it. which is to say that it's baked in a salt crust. for reference, the recipe is here.
unfortunately, i am not gordon ramsay. which means that my experiment was pretty much a failure. i'm not even bothering to photograph this disaster because, well, it kind of looked like a regular pinapple afterwards. i ended up just butchering the pineapple in a traditional fashion for later consumption.
part of the problem may be that i used a non-miniature pineapple. using a regular sized pineapple may have made it need to bake longer, which i didn't really do. a secondary problem may have been my salt-crusting technique. i don't think i made the salt mixture wet enough (not enough egg), so it didn't stick. very frustrating.
maybe i'll try it again...but not anytime soon, i don't think.
