"A KC favorite! For best flavor fresh pineapple is better to use but canned works well just make sure to blot off as much moisture as possible from the slices using paper towels"

Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a small sauce pan over medium high heat, cooking until it is lightly browned and has a nutty aroma; remove from the heat and carefully and slowly stir in the brown sugar and rum.
