    Method: 

    In a small bowl, combine nuts and dates with boiling water and let soak 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pineapple in a single layer over the paper and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roast until pineapple is very tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

    Pour nuts, dates and soaking water into a blender and add vanilla and salt. Blend until very smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice. Serve drizzled over the warm pineapple.
