Recipe Description: 

Fresh pineapple, when ripe, is a sweet and cooling treat. Stir frying pineapple caramelizes its natural sugars and heightens its delicious flavors. This crowd pleaser dessert can be made in advance, or stir fry and serve it warm over cold ice cream or non-dairy frozen dessert.

Directions: 
  1. Preheat wok over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled on wok skitter and dissipate, add pineapple and stir fry for 6 - 8 minutes, turning occasionally until brown and caramelized on all sides. Cooking time will vary depending on how ripe the pineapple is.
