This delectably sweet flan gives you tropical island flavors without having to leave your kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
36 oz pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
½ cup pineapple juice
6 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest
4 tablespoons rum

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

To make caramel, place ½ cup of the sugar and 2 tablespoons water into a pan. Place the pan over medium heat and dissolve the sugar, and boil until it turns a dark, fragrant, liquid caramel. Pour into a 9-inch cake pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

Crush three-quarters of the pineapple and mix with the pineapple juice and the remaining sugar. Cook the pineapple over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk in the flour, lemon zest and rum. Add the pineapple mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, place in a roasting pan filled halfway with boiling water, and bake for 1 hour.

Remove the flan from the oven and from the water bath. Cool and store in the refrigerator. For best results, refrigerate the flan overnight in the refrigerator.

To serve, run a knife around the outside edge to loosen the flan. Flip the flan onto a serving plate and pour over any caramel remaining in the pan.

This flan can easily serve 8 people.
