Stage 6 - 50 min.
Cook in the oven for around 40 to 50 minutes, until the pineapple is completely soft.
Every 10 minutes during cooking, spoon the syrup over the pineapple or, better still, turn the wedges over so they soak up the syrup evenly.

Remarks
If you don't have a Victoria pineapple, you can use half a normal, larger pineapple.
If your pineapple is already on the sharp side, don't add any lime juice.
For a more indulgent dessert, serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
