Pineapple Compote Method:
Strain ½ the juice from the pineapple.
Heat pineapple with juice until PA becomes tender and juice is reduced.

Pineapple Sandwich Method:
Open the two slices of bread and spread ricotta evenly.
Cover ricotta with the pineapple compote and close the sandwich.
Pinch the outside of the bread so that the filling doesn’t spill out.
Lightly dust sandwich in flour then dip into batter, allowing the excess batter to drip off before placing into the fryer.
Fry sandwich until batter is golden brown and crunchy at 180.
Remove from oil and drain – dust with cinnamon sugar.
Cut sandwich, plate, drizzle with batch pineapple syrup.
