Can't be bothered to check when it was, but think around last spring
or so, someone mentioned pickling pineapple in rum. At the time I put
some pineapple slices in a mason jar and added some lovely Appletons
Rum I had brought back from Jamaica.

Tried half a ring just now - uuuuummm - really yummy. For so little
effort, a great return.

Glad you tried it. Now that you bring it up again, I'm going to get a
pineapple when I go to the store this week. They are still cheap too, $2.50

Years ago I used to do apricots in brandy, also prunes in brandy -
sounds odd but they were good. Think I must get back to doing some of
both, makes a ready-to-go dessert.

My late Aunt-in-law usta give us prunes in brandy, fer Christmas.

I was the only one that ate 'em. I'm also now the only one who can
drink half a bottle o' Wild Turkey in one sitting.

My wife used to do this every year with morello cherries from a tree
in our backyard until the tree finally gave up the ghost a decade ago.

Cherries sound very good for purpose. Liked your sig line about St
Francis preaching to cats, does that mean it made the cats biddable?

This sounds like something I might like to try with spiced rum.

Excellent idea! I have ~8 mini-bottles* of spiced rum in my cupboard
and that would be a good use for them.

*Up here in Ontario, they attach those little things to regular
bottles of booze at the liquor store. I've been saving them up for
quite a while.

I like spiced rum in store-bought egg nog. Pineapple soaked in spiced
rum sounds like an interesting thing to try.

now.

Why not? I generally eat the fruit and mix the rum for a punch type drink.

I once tried the method with Kumquats and brandy. However, the fruit
came from an "organic" source and when I checked on the jar a few months
later, there were scores of little white grubs floating on the top of
the liquor.

I don't have any of those little bottles but spiced rum sounds like a
winner with pineapple. I buy spiced rum this time of year to add to egg
nog. I know I'll have some left over for the pineapple.
