Method

  1. Select a fair-sized, very ripe pine-apple, cut off a slice of it at the top and withdraw all its pulp without bursting the rind.
  2. Prepare a square cushion of Génoise, about two inches thick;
  3. slightly hollow it out towards its centre, that the emptied pine-apple may be set upright upon it;
  4. and stick the cushion upon a dry-paste base, of the same size and shape as the former.
  5. Glaze the Génoise cushion with pink fondant, decorate with “royale” glaze, and set a large strawberry at each corner.
  6. Slice half of the withdrawn pine-apple pulp, and macerate it with Kirsch, Maraschino and sugar.
  7. Pound the remaining pulp and press it in order to extract its juice.
  8. Set to macerate with this pine-apple juice a sufficient quantity of strawberries to three-parts fill the pine-apple.
  9. When about to serve, fill the emptied pine-apple with successive and alternate layers of pine-apple with Kirsch and strawberries;
  10. and, between each layer, spread a coat of vanilla-flavoured, Chantilly cream.
  11. Close the pine-apple with the slice cut off at the start, and set it upright in the hollow of the cushion.
  12. Serve the preparation very cold.
