Peel and diagonally cut the bananas into 1/2-inch pieces. Drain sweet potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Cut sweet potatoes into chunks. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; cook and stir for about a minute. Add the reserved 1/4 cup of sweet potato liquid, crushed pineapple, and brown sugar; stirring to combine. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat.
