Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F.
- 2
Place the fresh pineapple cubes on a small baking tray. Add half of the grated ginger, 20 g brown sugar, 1 rosemary sprig, and the fine salt. Toss well to coat the pineapple.
- 3
Roast the pineapple for 18 to 20 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F, stirring once halfway through, until lightly caramelized on the edges and very fragrant.
- 4
While the pineapple roasts, make a quick syrup: in a small saucepan combine the water, the remaining brown sugar, the remaining grated ginger, and the other rosemary sprig. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar fully dissolves.
- 5
Remove the syrup from the heat, let it steep for 5 minutes, then strain out the ginger and rosemary.
- 6
Take the roasted pineapple out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig.
- 7
Transfer the roasted pineapple to a blender with the strained syrup and the fresh lime juice. Blend until smooth.
- 8
Fill 4 glasses with ice. Divide the pineapple mixture among the glasses, filling each about halfway.
- 9
Top each glass with well-chilled sparkling water and stir gently. Serve immediately.
- 10
If desired, garnish with a small rosemary tip or a piece of the roasted pineapple from the prepared batch.
Chef tips
For a lighter texture, strain the pineapple mixture before serving. If you prefer a deeper flavor, let the pineapple caramelize a bit more without burning.
Substitutions
You can swap lime for lemon for a softer citrus profile. Brown sugar can be replaced with white sugar or panela. Rosemary can be replaced with fresh thyme for a different aroma.
