Add in the pineapple, ginger, elderflower syrup, red wine vinegar and salt. Puree till smooth. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing on the ingredients with the back of a spoon, into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat till reduced to about 2 c., about 25 min. Keep hot.
- For Assembly: Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1/2 c. of oil in a 10-inch skillet to 350 degrees.
