Title: Mark Miller's Seared Pineapple Salsa
Keywords: sauces, salads, chiles
   makes 3 cups
   
      1          Pineapple, peeled & cored
    1/4 c     Red bell pepper, diced
      2 ts     Chipotle chile puree [ed.--or to taste]
      2 Tb    Orange juice
      1 Tb    Lime juice
      1 Tb   Cilantro [or parsley], minced
      2 ts     Brown sugar
                  [minced or slivered habaneros, datils or 
                         _arrivivi gusanos_, to taste]

  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 caramelized & golden brown, so 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 [or chiles.  But first, let sit overnight or 
longer in fridge for the flavors and heat to emerge.]
   
As a variation, replace the  pineapple with peaches & cook using 
the same directions.
