Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (peeled, cored, and sliced into rings) Pineapple
- 2 whole (peeled and sliced into thick strips) Mango
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired for serving Optional: Vanilla ice cream
- for garnish Optional: Fresh mint
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and slicing it into rings about 1/2 inch thick. Peel the mangoes and slice them into thick, even strips.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter and stir continuously until it dissolves and the mixture becomes a caramel sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lime juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the caramel sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for 1 minute.
Carefully place the pineapple rings and mango slices into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to caramelize and develop a golden-brown color.
Flip the pineapple rings and mango slices, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are evenly caramelized.
Remove the caramelized fruit from the skillet and transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the skillet over the fruit for added flavor.
Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra tropical flair.
