Let’s make it.

Pat pineapple dry so it browns rather than steaming excessively.
Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat and add pineapple in one layer.
Cook six to eight minutes, turning occasionally. Add sugar and cinnamon and cook two minutes until syrupy.
Remove from heat, add lime juice and serve warm after cooling slightly. Hot sugar can burn.
