1 large fresh pineapple

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups water
3 drops yellow food coloring
Nut Crust
2/3 cup toasted ground walnuts

Twist crown from pineapple. Cut pineapple into quarters. Remove fruit from shell. Core and cut pineapple into bite-size chunks.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Stir in water and food coloring. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is clear and thickened. Remove from heat. Add pineapple chunks. Cool.

Preheat oven to 325u00b0F While filling is cooling, prepare the nut crust. Grind walnuts; spread in shallow pan. Bake in oven 10-15 minutes or until just roasted, turning occasionally to roast evenly. Advance heat to 400 degrees.
