Pineapple Upside Down Shots

I think Jeff is ready for the summer to be over because I keep making Shotibles that are appropriate for the season, and summer desserts almost universally include fruit.  Jeff hates fruit in his desserts.  He’s been known to pick cherries off or eat around the filling.  The fruit I decided to go with this round is pineapple.

More specifically, I decided to make my version of Pineapple Upside Down Cake.  I baked a pineapple flavored box cake mix.  In honor of the “upside down” aspect of the cake, I cut off the tops of the glasses just to make them stand on the wider end.  I then cored the “bottom” of the glasses.  It's a little avant-garde, but I think it works.

I made a filling with brown sugar, crushed pineapple, butter, flour and pineapple rum, and then topped each with a little brown sugar and a piece of maraschino cherry.
