Glazed pineapple with macadamia nut crunch

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.
