Ingredients

  • 1 small fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons butter, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 16 ounces North Country Gouda cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Picks or toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Warm a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toast pineapple, in batches, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until brown. Set aside.

  2. Warm butter and brown sugar in the same pan over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until brown sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened. Add pineapple in batches; toss to coat.

  3. Remove from the heat. Cool pineapple and sauce slightly. Thread gouda and pineapple on picks; drizzle with remaining sauce.
