Sweet, Sweet Pineapple Delight

On Friday evening, I went to a Pampered Chef party.  For this Domestic Goddess, it was a nice way to spend a Friday evening.  I spent a couple of hours chatting with friends and trying out kitchen gadgets.  Very relaxing!

We had a taste of three different foods and one of them I knew I would have to make again.  Soon!  The moment I tasted these delightful creations, I knew that they were blog material.

What is it you ask?  Pineapple dipped in lemon zest and white sugar. 

Now, I don't know if it was because the Pampered Chef consultant was talking about lime being an aphrodisiac, but my mind did drift towards a sensual place when I tried them.

My friend described them as tasting like Life Savers and I would definitely agree with that statement.  These little creations are here to stay in my recipe book!

To recreate these at home, I used:

2 tbsp white sugar
Zest of one lime
8  medium sized pineapple chunks (pre-packaged from Sobeys)
Toothpicks

Method: Stir together sugar and lime zest.  Poke toothpick though pineapple and dip into sugar mixture.

As you probably guessed, I do not own the pineapple wedger from Pampered Chef although; I did purchase a couple more products at this last party I went to.  Stay tuned for a blog entry about one of the new products.  I'm already writing the entry in my mind.
