1/2 inch peeled ginger, grated
1/4 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
Coconut sorbet or ice cream
1/2 cup rum
Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Directions
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter. Add the sugar and ginger. Stir together until the sugar dissolves. Continue to stir until the sugar starts turning light brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks, toss to coat, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes to warm the pineapple through.
- Scoop ice cream into each of 4 ice cream dishes.

- Pour the pineapple flambe over the ice cream, garnish with a maraschino cherry and a ginger cookie.
