Ingredients
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup (4 ounces) pecans
- 1 fresh pineapple peeled
- 2 cups Sweetened whipped cream made from 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup dulce de leche or caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare a small baking sheet by lining it with parchment or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- To candy the nuts, dissolve sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; remove stirring spoon (do not place back in the pot because it will create sugar crystals). Brush the inside of pan with a clean pastry brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals. Cook until the syrup turn light amber, swirling pan occasionally. Remove from heat and add salt, cinnamon, butter and pecans; with a clean spatula, stir to combine. Pour onto the parchment-lined baking sheet; spread into a thin layer, separating the nuts. Cool completely, then break or cut into pieces.
- Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Slice pineapple into ½-inch-thick rounds; remove core. Cook pineapple until heated through and marked, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve slices topped with whipped cream, candied nuts and dulce de leche.
