Grilled Pineapple with Rum Sauce
Sweet grilled pineapple slices are topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and luscious rum sauce.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced into 6-8 rings with the core removed
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons butter, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Vanilla ice cream and toasted slivered almond for serving on top of the pineapple.
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400° F. cleaning and oiling the grates well. Peel, cut and core the pineapple into 6-8 rings that are approximately 3/4 - 1 inch thick. Brush the pineapple rings lightly with oil or melted butter.
- While the grill preheats, combine the brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, butter (if using it) and pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer until it's reduced and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce into a jar or serving bowl and set aside while the pineapple grills.
- Place the pineapple rings onto the grill and cover with the lid. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and have grill marks, then flip them over and grill another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pineapple from the grill. Serve the pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, rum sauce and toasted slivered almonds on top.
