Pineapple Glace

Carefully peel and remove all discolored portions of a pineapple and cut it into slices about half an inch in thickness. Place in a preserving-pan a pound of crushed loaf-sugar and a pint of water and boil for ten minutes; put in the sliced pineapple and boil for fifteen minutes longer. Remove the slices of pineapple and place them on a sieve, to dry either in the sun or near the fire for about half an hour. Boil up the syrup, reduce it until quite hard, and then dip into it the slices of pineapple, put them on a buttered plate, and dust with caster-sugar. When they become well-dried and hardened, put some fresh green leaves in a glass dish, put in the slices of pineapple, and serve.
