Sue Torress Caramelized Pineapple Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter and sugar in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Add the pineapple and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and coated in caramel, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the vanilla and salt. Divide the pineapple sauce among 4 sundae dishes. Top each dish with 1 scoop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Cut pineapple in half crosswise. Reserve half for another use. Peel remaining half. Stand pineapple upright on work surface. Slice pineapple lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices working around the core of the pineapple; discard core. In a large saute pan set over medium-high heat, cook pineapple until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a work surface; cut into 1/4-inch pieces.

Steps:

• Combine rum and juice in a glass measuring cup. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming. Add half of the pineapple slices, and cook until well browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to baking pan.
• Sprinkle pan with 1/4 cup sugar, and cook until sugar caramelizes to a golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Turn heat off or hold skillet away from heat, and carefully add 1/2 cup rum mixture.
• Turn heat on or return pan to heat and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping loose any caramelized bits on bottom of skillet. Simmer sauce until reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour through fine sieve into a bowl, and set aside. Wash skillet, and repeat. Cut pineapple slices, and serve over ice cream drizzled with warm sauce.

Steps:

• Slice pineapple into eight rings and cut each ring into 8 pieces.
• Warm butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When butter begins to foam, add the pineapple and brown sugar (this is when you'd add the bananas if using that option).
• Cook, stirring frequently and make sure you are turning the pineapple chunks over while stirring. This should take about 4-5 minutes - just until the pineapple is brown and all the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and place into a shallow serving bowls and let cool 2-3 minutes.
• Place a scoop of ice cream/frozen yogurt on each serving and top with other toppings if desired. Or you can serve with just a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Divide the ingredients in half, and work in two batches. In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook butter and sugar until melted and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add pineapple in a single layer with star anise. Saute, shaking pan occasionally, until the fruit is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn; cook until other side is browned. Transfer to a gratin dish. Discard star anise before serving.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium to large saute pan over medium heat.
• Place the pineapple slices (no more than 1/2 inch thick) over the melted butter in the pan. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
• Baste the pineapple by tilting the pan a bit to scoop some of the butter/sugar mixture and pouring it over the pineapple slices. Cook for about 3-4 mins per side.
• Continue to baste every so often to incorporate the flavor of the butter and brown sugar.
• When cooked, place slices on plates and drizzle some of the sauce it cooked in over top. Serve with vanilla ice cream to make EXTRA delicious! Pour some of the sauce over that as well. VERY hot, let cool a little before serving.
• Enjoy :).
