Tequila Lime Pineapple Salsa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 pineapple
    1/4 cup tequila
    3 tablespoons lime juice, divided
    1 teaspoon brown sugar
    canola oil
    1/2 red onion, cut into 1/4 inch dice
    1 green jalapeno, minced
    1 red jalapeno chile, minced
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation
    Remove rind from pineapple, core, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices.
    Combine tequila, 1 tbl lime juice, and pineapple. Marinate for 30 minutes.
    Drain and toss with brown sugar.
    Coat saute pan with canola oil and heat on medium high. Add pineapple slices and cook, turning frequently, until caramelized, about 6 minutes. Dice half of the slices into 1/4 inch pieces. (Refrigerate remaining slices for another use. I would probably not bother marinating half of the slices to begin with).
    Combine the diced pineapple with the remaining lime juice and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Let salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving.
