Ingredients:
1 large pineapple, ripe with end trimmed skin and eyes removed
1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat the broiler.
Cut the pineapple into 8 slices about 1-inch thick.
For a decorative presentation you might want to cut notched grooves 1 inch apart on the top of each slice to suggest the grooves of a scallop shell.
In a small bowl, combine the macadamia nuts, brown sugar and salt.
Add the melted butter and stir until well blended.
Place the pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Sprinkle with a few tablespoons of the nut mixture, or arrange in a graphic pattern over each pineapple slice.
Broil the pineapple slices about 6 inches from the heat until the filling starts to caramelize, about 1-1/2 minutes.
Serve hot.
