I hadn't made Pineapple Upside-Down Gingerbread in a long time; but decided to yesterday for my Wednesday Morning Coffee Group.
I've had this recipe (see below) for probably about 30 years - it originally came off of a box of Betty Crocker Gingerbread Mix. I still use the Betty Crocker mix, which makes this an easy but special dessert.
We've had snow in Colorado; and it is cold, but the sun is shining. Just right for a left-over piece of this yumminess.
Pineapple Upside-Down Gingerbread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt in the oven 1/4 cup butter in a 9" round pan. Blend in 1/2 cup brown sugar. On top of the butter/brown sugar, arrange maraschino cherries, pecan halves and pineapple slices. Make gingerbread as directed on Betty Crocker package; pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes. Let cake stand a few minutes before inverting on plate.
