🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 whole fresh pineapple
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 pinch sea salt

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Prepare the pineapple by peeling it, removing the core, and cutting it into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges. Set aside.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to bubble.

3. Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves into the butter, forming a smooth caramel-like mixture.

4. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg into the caramel mixture and stir to combine.

5. Place the pineapple slices in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they caramelize and turn golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; work in batches if needed.

6. Once the pineapple is caramelized, drizzle the vanilla extract and fresh lime juice over the slices. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

7. Remove the pineapple from the heat and plate it while it’s still warm.

8. Serve the hot pineapple as is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
