Surprise... surprise...

Shopping at the market is always a little surprising. You never know what kind of exotic fruits (I'm talking about strawberries, grapes, peaches or plums) they sell. Today I got ahold of some peaches.

What do pineapple, peach and starfruit have in common?

 

They end as jam in a jar. 

And tomorrow morning we'll have fresh French Baguette and this jam.

Piña Colada Gelato

When I'm thinking of a tropical fruit, pineapple comes first to my mind. Especially here in Belize they taste so delicious. So it is obvious that I have to make a gelato with this savory fruit.
I decided to spice it up with coconut cream and a little - okay two little - dashes of coconut rum.

Pine-Coconut Yeastbun

I was asked if I could bake the "sweet bread" also with pineapple. So I decided to combine this tropical fruit with grated coconut.
Because the pineapple is so sappy it could happen that the pastry will stick at the pan. To avoid this, I greased the pan and covered the bottom with bread crumbs.
