Looking for an alternative to chocolate overload this Valentine's Day? Try this light and refreshing dessert from Denver-based chef Matt Selby. Cubes of pineapple are gently cooked in a sweet mixture of sugar, vanilla, and Riesling, whose high acidity plays nicely with the fruit's intense tanginess. An earthy rosemary-infused whipped cream and a pinch of lightly crushed pink peppercorns add depth to this elegant and floral dish. Get the recipe here.
