Ingredients for Pineapple Marmalade 
2 cups chopped pineapple (fresh or canned) 
1 cup granulated sugar 
Pinch of hot chili pepper flakes (optional) 

In a heavy saucepan, combine pineapple with sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer uncovered until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally. (About 45 minutes for fresh pineapples or less, if you're using canned pineapple).

Makes 2 cups.

Ingredients for Deep Fried Won Ton Brie 
Won Ton wrappers 
Brie cheese 
Oil for deep frying 

Take a won ton wrapper and brush with egg white. Place a cube of brie in the middle. (If desired, add a sprinkle of chopped macadamia nuts). Press the cheese down while gathering up the won ton wrapper to make a little purse, and pinch the wrapper together just above the cheese to seal. The won ton wrapper should fan out a little at the top.

In a deep heavy pot or wok, heat oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry purses to a golden brown for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve with warm pineapple marmalade.
