Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
1. Start by patting the pineapple rings dry with paper towels.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Add the pineapple rings to the skillet, and then sprinkle them generously with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and caramelize deliciously.
4. Once your pineapple is caramelized, carefully pour in the dark rum along with the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Transfer your caramelized pineapple to serving plates, spooning extra sauce from the skillet over the top.
6. Serve warm alongside a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
