Ingredients
- 1 (2-inch) piece gingerroot, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 Hawaiian golden pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Spoon 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice around the fruit and serve immediately with the whipped cream and sables Bretons on the side.
