Pineapple Foster




1/2 Fresh Pineapple, cut into 1/2 thick slices
4 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup gold rum or spiced rum
4 - 1 inch slices angel food cake

In large non-stick pan melt butter. Turn heat to high.
Add pineapple slices. Toss to coat with butter. let cook on high for two minutes per side. A light gold crust will start to form. Remove pan from heat. Add Rum and sugar. return pan to heat. Boil until the liquid coats the back of a spoon. Spoon pineapple and liquid over slices of angle food cake.
Serves 4

If you have a grill handy you can cook the pineapple on the grill to give it even more flavor. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters. Remove the core. Put it right on the grill. When it gets slightly browned turn it. once it is browned on all sides, remove it and slice it into 1/2 inch pieces. Prepare the sauce in a pan and add some of the pineapple juice. When it is thick enough add the pineapple to the pan to coat it with the sauce. Then plate it.
