Sue Torres' caramelized pineapple is a delectable dish that can be enjoyed as a dessert or as part of a main course. The key to making this dish is to use ripe, juicy pineapple and to caramelize it slowly and carefully. This will result in a dish that is both sweet and tangy, with a slightly chewy texture. Caramelized pineapple can be served on its own, with ice cream or whipped cream, or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or french toast. It can also be used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as stir-fries, salads, and pies.

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.

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES WITH CHOCOLATE-COCONUT SAUCE
Steps:
- For praline:
- Line 8x8-inch baking pan with foil. Stir sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 7 minutes. Mix in nuts. Immediately pour mixture into prepared pan, spreading slightly. Cool completely. Peel foil off praline. Coarsely chop praline. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Store refrigerated in airtight container.)
- For sauce:
- Bring cream of coconut and cocoa to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat. Add extracts and salt; whisk to blend. Cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
- For pineapple:
- Melt butter and sugar in very large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Add pineapple and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Divide pineapple among 8 sundae dishes. Top each with 1 scoop of ice cream. Top with sauce and praline.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a golden-yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the pineapple into even pieces and prevent the fruit from becoming bruised.
- Caramelize the pineapple in batches: If you are making a large batch of caramelized pineapple, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help the pineapple caramelize evenly.
- Don't overcook the pineapple: Caramelized pineapple should be slightly soft but still retain a bit of a bite. If you overcook the pineapple, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Add spices and herbs to taste: You can add a variety of spices and herbs to caramelized pineapple to enhance its flavor. Some popular options include cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
Conclusion:
Caramelized pineapple is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great addition to desserts, such as pies, cakes, and ice cream. It can also be used in savory dishes, such as stir-fries, curries, and grilled meats. With its sweet and tangy flavor, caramelized pineapple is sure to add a burst of flavor to any dish.
