Description
A sweet and warm tropical treat with caramelized pineapple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla. Quick and versatile, perfect as a dessert topping or side.
Ingredients
Fresh Pineapple, 1 whole (cut into rings or chunks)
Unsalted Butter, 2 tablespoons
Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup
Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon (optional)
Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
Peel and remove the core from a fresh pineapple.
Cut it into equal-sized pieces or rounds for even cooking.
In a non-stick skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble gently.
Add pineapple pieces to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) over the pineapple and stir to coat.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sugar caramelizes.
Stir in vanilla extract (if using) and remove from heat. Serve warm.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, omit rum entirely. Use as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream, or serve as a side with grilled proteins. Adjust sugar based on pineapple ripeness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
