  2. Heat the sugar gently in a pan until it turns a light caramel colour, shake the pan while it melts but don't stir, or it will crystallise. Take off the heat and stir in the butter, star anise and cinnamon. Divide between tins, put a slice of pineapple on each and bake for 10 minutes.

    This is a greate recipe. I made a big tarte tatin instead of 6 small ones. If you don't like star anise you can do without. Serve with a spoon of crème fraîche.
