  2. Let the toasted coconut cool completely.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of dark rum (or substitute with pineapple juice) to the skillet.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar evenly over the rum and butter mixture.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture slightly thickens, about 1 minute.
  7. Add 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple rings or 4 cups of pineapple chunks to the skillet.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  9. Cook the pineapple, turning occasionally, until deep golden and slightly caramelized on both sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  10. Transfer the pineapple to a serving platter.
  11. Return the skillet with the glaze to medium-high heat.
  12. Simmer the glaze, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 1 minute.
  13. Pour the glaze over the pineapple spears.
  14. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut before serving. Enjoy!
