Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (cut into rings or chunks) Pineapple
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Cut the pineapple into rings or chunks if not already prepared. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it combines with the butter to form a smooth caramel-like mixture.
Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and fragrant.
Add the pineapple pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the pineapple is caramelized and golden.
Using a spoon, baste the pineapple with the glaze in the skillet to ensure it is evenly coated.
Once the pineapple is caramelized and tender, remove it from the heat. Serve immediately as a topping or on its own.
