Brown Sugar Glazed Pineapple
Ingredients:
8 slices peeled and cored fresh pineapple, each 3/8
inch thick
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
8 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
8 tablespoons shredded sweetened coconut
Ice cream or sorbet, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
With the oven door ajar, preheat the broiler
In a small saucepan or in the microwave, melt the 3 tablespoons
butter. Meanwhile, arrange the 8 pineapple rings on a cookie sheet with
sides; brush tops with melted butter. Sprinkle the pineapple evenly with
the 8 tablespoons brown sugar. Place the cookie sheet under the broiler,
about 3 inches from the heat. Pay close attention and when the sugar begins
to bubble, about 4 to 5 minutes, remove the pineapple from the oven and
sprinkle on the 8 tablespoons coconut. Run the cookie sheet back
under the broiler and broil until the coconut is golden, about 30 seconds
to 1 minute. To serve, place 2 pineapple slices on each serving plate and
serve as is or with ice cream or sorbet, if desired.
