Gingered Pineapple

Directions

Cut pineapple lengthwise into fourths; remove core.

Cut along curved edges to loosen pineapple from rind without cutting rind.

Cut fruit in rind crosswise into ¾ inch slices; then cut lengthwise down center of slices, leaving the cut fruit in the rind shell.

Mix rum and gingerroot; spoon over pineapple.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Sprinkle with coconut.

Garnish with strawberries and mint leaves if desired.
