Ingredients

- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, halved, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
- 2 cups (250 ml) water
- 1 cup (210 g) sugar
- 1 1-inch (2.5 cm) piece ginger, thickly sliced

Preparation

- Place the pineapple and celery in a glass dish.
- In a pot, bring the water, sugar, ginger, lemongrass, lime zest and lime juice to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot syrup over the pineapple and celery and let macerate until the syrup has cooled, about 10 minutes. Drain the pineapple and celery over a bowl. Remove the ginger and lemongrass. Reserve the syrup for another use such as cocktails or fruit salad.
- While the syrup is cooling, whip the ricotta and cream in a small bowl until the mixture thickens.
- Place the pineapple slices on plates, folding them to give volume. Garnish with the ricotta cream and top with the celery.
