Pineapple in Brown Sugar with Ice cream

Here's a simple dessert.

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2-3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-1/4 inch cubes (or use canned pineapples)
2 tablespoons rum (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Melt butter in a medium saute pan over low heat. Add sugar and stir until melted. Add pineapple, rum, if desired, and vanilla, and turn heat up to medium high.

Cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and pineapple is glazed, about 15 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Serve in bowls with a scoop of ice cream.
