Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Fresh pineapple
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and slice it into rings or chunks, depending on your serving preference. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the brown sugar and stir continuously until it fully dissolves, creating a caramel-like mixture.
Slowly add the dark rum to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the caramel mixture. Be careful as it may sizzle and release steam.
Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of the sauce.
Add the pineapple slices or chunks to the skillet, coating them in the rum sauce. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side (if using rings), or until the pineapple is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool briefly before serving.
Serve the pineapple warm, drizzled generously with the rum sauce. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
