Broiled Pineapple
Try this as a breakfast alternative to that bowl of prunes. Makes 4 servings


Ingredients:

4 center-cut slices of pineapple, 1/2 inch thick, peeled and with eyes removed
1/4 cup rum
8 teaspoons brown sugar, preferably the free-pouring variety


Instructions:
1. Put pineapple slices on a deep platter large enough to hold all in 1 layer. Sprinkle half the rum on one side. Turn slices over and sprinkle remaining rum on the other side. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes, turning a few times, while you preheat broiler.

2. Put pineapple slices on a baking pan all in 1 layer. Sprinkle half the brown sugar on the slices and put under the broiler, about 5 inches from the flame, for 3 minutes. Turn slices, sprinkle with remaining sugar, and broil another 3 minutes or until surface of the slices turns a nice golden, bubbly brown. Put on a platter and pour and juice from the pan over the slices.

Cooking Tip
Rum and pineapple are a natural tropical combination, but you could also use bourbon, brandy, or amaretto. The amaretto will give the pineapple a sweeter flavor. Also try a combination of bourbon and maple syrup.
