Bet you never thought of Curried Pineapple, but we guarantee that once you try it you won't ever wanna stop eating it.

What You'll Need

2 (20-ounce) cans pineapple chunks
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (see note)

What to Do

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple in a large heatproof serving bowl, and set aside.
Bring 1 cup reserved pineapple juice, the brown sugar, butter, and curry powder to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Pour mixture over pineapple, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Toasting brings out the full flavor of nuts and also helps them stay crisp when combined with moist ingredients. Use a dry skillet to toast a small amount of nuts over medium heat for just a few minutes, stirring them occasionally. Sense of smell is key in judging when they're toasted, but watch closely-the smaller the pieces are, the quicker they cook!
