CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE WITH BLACK PEPPER SYRUP
This is a little bit of messing around but I think that you will be pleased with the results. Start with an ordinary pineapple, poach it and then roast it and you end up with an amazingly intense pineapple taste. This requires some advance preparation and must be started the day before you plan to serve it. This recipe comes from Rozanne Gold's Recipes 123. Ms. Gold suggests using pineapple wedges but I have made this using both fresh pineapple rings or fresh pineapple chunks. You will need to reduce the poaching time a bit if you are using the smaller chunks. I think that the smaller pineapple chunks or rings make a more elegant presentation rather than the wedges but it's up to you.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut the skin off the pineapple, then cut the pineapple into 6 lengthwise wedges. Remove the core. (Alternatively cut your pineapple into rings or chunks if you wish a different shape than the wedges).
- Bring 4 cups of water and 3/4 cup of the white sugar to a boil in a medium sized sauce pan. Add the pineapple. If necessary add a bit more water to cover the pineapple pieces. Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes or until the pineapple is tender but not to soft. (Note that the cooking time with be less if you use the smaller pineapple chunks or rounds so keep and eye on it).
- Remove the pineapple from the syrup using tongs and place the pineapple into a large squat glass jar or bowl. (Do not use metal).
- Return the syrup to the heat and bring to a near boil. Continue to cook the syrup to reduce it until you have 2 cups remaining. Pour the syrup reduction through strainer over the pineapple. Let it marinate overnight.
- The next day remove the pineapple from the poaching liquid. Return the poaching liquid to the stove and further reduce it over medium high heat until one cup remains. Once it is reduced, remove from heat, add the 1 tsp of butcher grind black pepper. Let the reduction cool.
- Place the pineapple on a baking sheet and sprinkle heavily with the remain 1/4 cup white sugar. Broil until the pineapple begins to caramelize. Turn pineapple pieces and broil the remaining side(s) for 1 minute.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream and top with the Black Pepper Syrup.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a medium to large saute pan over medium heat.
- Place the pineapple slices (no more than 1/2 inch thick) over the melted butter in the pan. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
- Baste the pineapple by tilting the pan a bit to scoop some of the butter/sugar mixture and pouring it over the pineapple slices. Cook for about 3-4 mins per side.
- Continue to baste every so often to incorporate the flavor of the butter and brown sugar.
- When cooked, place slices on plates and drizzle some of the sauce it cooked in over top. Serve with vanilla ice cream to make EXTRA delicious! Pour some of the sauce over that as well. VERY hot, let cool a little before serving.
- Enjoy :).

SIMPLE CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE
Found in All*You Magazine many years ago. I love making this dish for our family - very simple and I can tweak it with different toppings so it always seems just a bit different.

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.
