Broiled Pineapple with Bourbon Caramel over Vanilla Ice Cream

I was really disappointed with the overall outcome of this recipe. The pineapple and brown sugar smoked up my oven to a good extent. I ended up throwing away the pineapple because it just didn't taste good. I will say, however, that the bourbon sauce and toasted coconut started a little bit of an ice cream topper addiction. The sauce/coconut combination is divine.

My husband made this for me as a date night treat. The space from the broiler might be important because ours turned out perfectly. The bourbon sauce is divine and I admit that it was used on many a bowl of ice cream afterwards.
