Flan de Pina
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
In the top of a double boiler melt sugar over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until it is a rich caramel color
Dip the bottom of the container in cold water for a second or two, turn the container to coat the sides with the caramel, & set it aside
In a saucepan cook together unsweetened pineapple juice & sugar until the liquid is reduced by half & is quite thick
Cool the syrup
Beat eggs until they are thick & lemon colored & gradually pour in the syrup, beating constantly
Pour the mixture into the caramelized container & cook it over barely simmering water for about 2 hrs, or until it is set
Let the custard cool & refrigerate it overnight
Before serving, run a knife between the custard & the container, place a serving dish over the mold, & invert the pineapple custard quickly
