1. • Prepare the caramel, then pour into the tin, tipping it from side to side to spread it evenly.  Arrange  6 pineapple slices in a circle on top of the caramel.
   • In a small saucepan,  melt the butter and allow to cool.  
     
   • Preheat the oven to 180°.

   • Allow to cool in the tin, then turn out onto a serving dish.
