The most common way to eat a pineapple is as a plain cut-up fruit. Pineapple is sweet, juicy and refreshing and tastes wonderful as it is. However, if you are craving something different, trying this new way of serving pineapple – the pan-fried pineapple.

The pineapple chunks are simply fried on a non-stick frying pan. No extra seasoning is needed since the pineapple itself is so full of flavor. The sugar in pineapple caramelizes as it cooks, giving it a brownish color and bringing out a unique caramelized taste. Pan-fried pineapple is sweet, sour and savory at the same time – what a burst of flavor!
Pan-fried pineapple is great served warm, right after it is cooked. It can also be refrigerated and re-warmed in a microwave to be served later. Pan-fried pineapple is great as a side dish accompaniment to chicken breast, pork or fish.

This almost sounds like a yummy dessert!
it is. I added a small ,tiny amount of vanilla extract
I will make tonight for dinner with a small filet of Halibut and a small tenderloin. Thought I would add a bit of sweet say sauce to the butter fried pineapple, and have rice and asparagus. The idea of adding vanilla sounds like yummy over vanilla ice cream.
Thank you!
