  • 5
    To make the honeyed pineapple
  • 6
    Thinly slice peeled pineapple and place in a saucepan.
  • 7
    Pour over 50ml runny honey and simmer on a medium heat until sticky and slightly caramelized.
  • 8
    To make the sesame shards
  • 9
    Place 180g of caster sugar and 100ml of water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and allow the sugar to turn into caramel. Do not be tempted to stir the sugar, as it will crystalize. Swirl the pan if needed. Once the sugar is caramel, carefully pour it out onto a tray lined with baking paper and spread evenly. Sprinkle on 50g toasted black sesame seeds (work quickly as the caramel will begin to set).
