Ingredients
1. For the macadamia crunch
2. For the glaze
Step-by-Step Method
Prep the pineapple
Peel and core the pineapple. Cut into rings or thick slices so they hold their shape in the pan.
Make the nut crunch
Roughly chop the macadamias. If you like, toast them in a dry skillet for 2–3 minutes, stirring often until lightly fragrant; don’t let them brown too much.
Start the glaze
Heat a wide skillet over medium-high. Melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar and salt until glossy.
Glaze the pineapple
Lay the pineapple slices in the skillet. Turn them as they cook so the sugar-butter mixture coats the surface; this takes about 1 minute total.
Serve
Move pineapple to a platter and spoon the pan glaze over the top. Sprinkle with macadamia crunch. Add a little lemon juice or cinnamon if you want, then serve right away.
