Azorean Caramelized Pineapple is a simple yet elegant island dessert that brings together tropical sweetness and rich Azorean flavor. Fresh pineapple slices are slowly cooked in butter and sugar until caramelized, then flambéed with rum for a warm, aromatic touch. The gentle hint of cinnamon enhances the pineapple’s natural sweetness, creating a golden, glossy finish. This traditional Portuguese-inspired treat is quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion — from festive dinners to relaxed family gatherings. Serve it warm on its own, or pair it with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or crepes for an irresistible tropical twist. Each bite captures the sunshine and spirit of the Azores, making it a must-try for fruit lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike.
