  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                    Pineapple -- peeled & cored
     1/4  cup           Red bell pepper -- diced
   2      teaspoons     Chipotle chile puree
   2      tablespoons   Orange juice
   1      tablespoon    Lime juice
   1      tablespoon    Cilantro -- minced
   2      teaspoons     Brown sugar
 

Preparation:

Cut pineapple into slices no more than 1/4" thick. Cut each slice in half. Dry saute the pineapple slices in a skillet for 8 minutes or so. You want it to be caremalized and golden brown, be careful not to use too high a heat. When cooked, dice and transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients and taste to see if you need more lime juice or chile puree. This salsa rates a cool 4 out of 10. As a variation, replace the pineapple with peaches and cook using the same directions.
