Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple and brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is slightly softened and golden brown, about 6 minutes.
- Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk and then the remaining flour, beating just until incorporated.
- Divide the caramelized pineapple among six 8-ounce Mason jars, pressing with a spoon to compact the pineapple slightly. Divide the batter among the jars (a little over 1/3 cup per jar).
- Set the jars on a baking sheet and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
- Top each jar with a spoonful of Cherry Glaze.
- Add the cherry preserves and pineapple juice to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the jam cooks down slightly.
UPSIDE-DOWN PINEAPPLE CAKE
Steps:
- For the caramel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Melt the 4 ounces butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and vanilla bean and seeds and cook, stirring, until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully remove the vanilla bean and pour the caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish. Shingle the pineapple slices in 2 rows on top of the hot caramel down the length of the dish. Set aside.
- For the cake: Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Cream the granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and continue to mix to combine. Add the vanilla extract and egg and continue mixing. Add the flour mixture and milk in alternating additions, starting and ending with the flour.
- Spread the batter evenly over the prepared pineapple dish and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean with a moist crumb, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the baking dish, place a serving plate on top and carefully flip it over. Slowly lift off the baking dish, being careful of steam, and replace any fruit that may have stuck to the dish. Serve.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
This recipe is by far the best Pineapple Upside Down cake that I've ever made. It is also quick and easy. The cake is very moist and rises much higher than the average recipe. The combination of pineapple cake mix and pineapple juice isn't overwhelming either. I've been meaning to edit this for ages, however it looks so much better if you use dark brown sugar. Also if you'd like more topping, use 3/4 cup butter with 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- For the topping: Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pie plate with butter. Sprinkle the butter with the brown sugar. Use clean hands to cover the base and sides of the pie plate with the butter sugar mixture. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on the base of the pie plate. Cut the remaining 3 rings in half and place them in the openings on the sides of the pie plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and in the empty spaces between the pineapple rings. Place the pie plate in the fridge while you make the batter.
- For the cake: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding another. When the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla and orange zest and mix until combined.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the mixer, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the chilled pie plate. Place the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake until the juices are bubbling and the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and carefully flip the cake over, inverting it onto the plate. Cool the cake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup and evenly coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch glass pie plate with the mixture. Arrange pineapple on top.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and thoroughly mix. In another bowl, whisk together the softened butter, sour cream, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer at medium speed about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until thick and smooth. Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly over the fruit, building up the outside edges so the cake will be level when baked.

- Serve the cake warm: Pineapple upside-down cake is best served warm. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven if necessary.
