Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lg Ripe pineapple -- end trimmed
-skin and eyes removed
1 c Coarse chopped macadamias
1/3 c Lt. brown sugar (packed)
pn Salt
4 tb Unsalted butter, melted

1. Preheat the broiler. Cut the pineapple into 8 slices, each 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. 2. In a small bowl, combine the nuts, brown sugar and salt.
Add the butter and stir until well blended. 3. 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. 4.
Broil the pineapple slices about 6 inches from the heat until the filling
starts to caramelize, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve hot.
