Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Cut it into quarters and remove the core from each piece. Place each section skin side down and, using a sharp knife, loosen the fruit from the skin while leaving the fruit resting on the skin for presentation. Slice the fruit for easy eating. Set on a baking sheet and sprinkle each section with 2 tablespoons each of brown sugar and coconut.
