Blue Ribbon Recipe

I loved the flavor the vanilla beans added to the pineapple. Baking the pineapple made it even sweeter! Spooned over some vanilla ice cream this is a simple and refreshing summertime dessert. I was a little short on time in the Test Kitchen and really wanted to try this, so I prepared the confit version of this recipe. Next time, I'm definitely going to try the caramel version!
