  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                    Pineapple, peeled & cored
     1/4   c            Red bell pepper, diced
   2       ts           Chipotle chile puree
   2       tb           Orange juice
   1       tb           Lime juice
   1       tb           Cilantro, minced
   2       ts           Brown sugar

  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 & golden brown, be careful not to use too
  high a heat. When cooked, dice & transfer to a mixing
  bowl.
  
  Stir in the remaining ingredients & 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 & cook using the
  same directions.
