Recipe - Pineapple Phyllo Bundles

8 ounce Crushed pineapple; undrained
3 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoon Butter or margarine
One half teaspoon Grated lemon rind
1 One half teaspoon Lemon juice
16 Sheets commercial frozen
phyllo pastry; thawed
1 cup Butter or margarine; melted

Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice.

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan; stir well. Add reserved
pineapple juice; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture
boils. Boil 1 minute, and remove from heat. Add crushed pineapple, butter,
lemon rind, and lemon juice; stir until butter melts. Set aside.

Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a damp towel (keep remaining phyllo covered).
Lightly brush phyllo with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo,
and brush with butter. Spoon about onefourth of pineapple mixture in
center of phyllo. Fold sides of phyllo over pineapple mixture, wrapping
filling like a package. Wrap phyllo package in another sheet of buttered
phyllo. Place package in center of another sheet of buttered phyllo. Draw
edges of phyllo up and over package, twisting and squeezing together in
center. Pull ends up and out to resemble a flower. Place on a lightly
greased baking sheet; repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. Brush all
bundles with melted butter. Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until golden
brown. Serve warm.

Yield: 4 servings.
