Ginger-Caramelized Pineapple

PointsPlus: 3 pts for 2 pineapple spears and 1 teaspoon of syrup
Prep: 2 minutes  Cook: 9 minutes

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 (1 1/4 pound) cored fresh pineapple, cut vertically into 12 spears (for a really good pineapple look for a really good golden pineapple- the less green the better. Or see if you can pick out a leaf easily from the top)
2 tablespoons light butter, cut into pieces (I used yogurt butter)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Heat a large skillet over high heat..  Coat pan with cooking spray; add pineapple.  Add butter pieces, and quickly tilt pan in all directions so butter covers pan with a thin film.
2. Cook pineapple 8 minutes or until browned, turning once. 
3. Add vanilla.  Add honey, ginger, and salt; cook 1 minute, tossing to coat with honey. 
YIELD: 6 servings
