Compote of Pineapple

Peel a pineapple and cut it in slices about one-fourth inch the thickness. Cut all the slices in halves with the exception of the middle one which should be left whole. Put them in a sugar-boiler with some syrup at 20 degrees, and let them simmer gently at the side of the fire for an hour. Put the pineapple into a basin, pour the syrup over and let it steep for twenty hours. At the end of that time, put the slices on a wire-drainer, strain the syrup through a silk-sieve into a sugar-boiler and boil till reduced to 32 degrees. Arrange the half slices of pineapple in the center of a compote-dish, put the round slice on the top, pour the syrup over, and serve.
