Glazed Pineapple With Macadamia Nut Crunch
Ingredients
1 large ripe pineapple, end trimmed skin and eyes
1 cup coarse chopped macadamias
1/3 cup lt. brown sugar (packed)
1 pinch salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Preparation
1. Preheat the broiler. Cut the pineapple into 8 slices, each about
1-inch thick. 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. 2. In a small bowl, combine the nuts,
brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and stir until well blended. 3.
Place the pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Sprinkle with a few tablespoons of the nut mixture or arrange in a
graphic pattern over each pineapple slice. 4. Broil the pineapple
slices about 6 inches from the heat until the filling starts to
caramelize, about 1
1/2 minutes. Serve hot.
