• Melt the butter and sugar in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high.

Divide the pineapple sauce among 4 sundae dishes. Top each dish with 1 scoop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce.

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Core and peel pineapple. Slice it lengthwise into eighths.
• Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat pineapple wedges with sugar; place in hot pan. Cook, turning once and shaking pan often, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pineapple.
• Stir 3 tablespoons water into pan, and heat briefly; drizzle over pineapple. Serve with frozen yogurt, if desired.

CARAMEL GRILLED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice pineapple into 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick rings. If your pineapple is already cored and sliced in a way that makes it impossible to cut into rings, just cut into big wedges. Pieces that are cut too small make it difficult to grill without losing pieces in the grill, as the pineapple will soften somewhat.
• Grill on a lightly oiled BBQ grill grate over medium to high heat, turning once, until the pineapple has nice grill marks, is warm, and slightly softened. Time will vary depending on your grill, but your eyes and your nose will tell you when it's ready!
• Warm caramel ice cream topping in microwave according to package directions.
• Assemble sundaes by placing a portion of pineapple in the bottom of each bowl. Top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, end drizzle a large spoonful of warm caramel topping over the top, and serve immediately.
• Enjoy the compliments from your guests.
• Grin as they ooooh and aahhhh over what a genius you are! :).
