Bourbon, Pineapple, Pecan Sauce

Directions

1. In a pan on very low heat, toast the pecans.  Remove to a bowl and set aside.

2. In the same pan, add the butter and melt.  When melted, add the diced pineapple and saute for a few minutes until it begins to soften.

3. Deglaze the pan with the bourbon and reduce by half (or until the raw alcohol flavor subsides).  Add the brown sugar and orange juice and reduce on low heat until thickened.  Add a pinch of salt or two at the end to offset some of the sweetness.  Add the pecans.

4. Serve on the side with ham or use as a glaze!
