Ingredients for Pineapple Rum Sauce (the zing!)

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup cooled white rum

1 tablespoon pistachio nuts

3. Place the cut fresh pineapple pieces in a 2-quart bowl and pour the pineapple rum sauce over them. Marinate for several hours.

How to serve

Place 1 scoop Mango Ice Cream in a wine glass. Top with 3 to 4 oz of Pineapple Rum Mixture.
