Glazed Pineapple with Macadamia Nut Crunch Ingredients:
1 large pineapple, ripe with end trimmed skin and eyes removed |
1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped |
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed |
1 pinch salt |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Cut the pineapple into 8 slices about 1-inch thick.
3. For a decorative presentation you might want to cut notched grooves 1 inch apart on the top of each slice to suggest the grooves of a scallop shell.
4. In a small bowl, combine the macadamia nuts, brown sugar and salt.
5. Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.
6. Place the pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with foil.
7. Sprinkle with a few tablespoons of the nut mixture, or arrange in a graphic pattern over each pineapple slice.
8. Broil the pineapple slices about 6 inches from the heat until the filling starts to caramelize, about 1-1/2 minutes.
9. Serve hot.
