For a deeper butterscotch flavor, use dark brown sugar. If fresh pineapple is not available, canned pineapple rings can be used. Be sure to drain them well before grilling. Reduce grilling time accordingly. A sprinkle of toasted pecans or walnuts adds a delightful crunch to the sundae. The butterscotch sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
