Directions
Pineapple in Port (Ananas Em Porto Com Hortela Picada),Lovely pineapples grow in the Azores and Port IS from Portugal, so no surprise that this is a classic Protugese dessert, tho not nearly as rich as most. From Jean Anderson’s “The Food of Portugal”,Even being half Portuguese, I’m not a huge fan of Port. But of course, every now and then, I have to have some, but variety is definitely desired. The simpleness makes this so great, and just wonderful after a meal. I will be using it in the future, of course. 🙂 Obrigada (Thank you!),This is a wonderful and easy recipe. I agree it is not nearly as rich as some Portguese desserts for which we are thankful. Will definitely be making this often this winter when we live there. Thanks for submitting.
