In a separate pan (from the one rice was cooking in), place pineapple, sugar, butter and let simmer over a low fire.
When it reaches a thin syrup stage, remove from stove and add nutmeg.
Butter baking dish and place in alternate layers the cooked rice and the pineapple sauce, the last layer being pineapple.

or until lightly browned on top.
If rice seems to be getting too dry before browning, carefully add a few spoons of water.
