Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • ½ pineapple thinly sliced
  • 1 mango thinly sliced
  • coarsely ground black pepper
  • vanilla or coconut ice-cream optional
  • Amber ale jelly
  • 700 ml amber ale
  • 200 gm caster sugar
  • 4 titanium-strength gelatine leaves softened cold water for 5 minutes (see note)
  • Kaffir lime caramel
  • 100 gm light palm sugar crushed
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves coarsely torn
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

  • For amber ale jelly, bring ale and sugar to the simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Squeeze excess water from gelatine, add to pan and stir to dissolve. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and set aside to cool, then refrigerate until set (3-5 hours).
  • For kaffir lime caramel, stir sugar, 200gm water and kaffir lime leaves in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, then cook without stirring until caramel (5-10 minutes). Add lime juice and 1 tbsp water (be careful, hot caramel will spit) and set aside to cool.
  • Arrange pineapple and mango among bowls, scatter with black pepper, top with spoonfuls of amber ale jelly, drizzle with kaffir lime caramel and serve with vanilla or coconut ice-cream.

Notes

If you don't have titanium leaves - use 5 standard.
