Brown Sugar Spiced Rum Grilled Pineapple

This easy rum grilled pineapple is the perfect summer BBQ dessert. Pineapple slices get marinated with a brown sugar spiced rum sauce then delicately charred and topped with ice cream.

Ingredients

  • Whole fresh pineapple
  • 4 oz spiced rum
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Oil of choice for grilling
  • Vanilla or caramel ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Cut the top and bottom from the pineapple, then stand it upright and cut off the rind. Lay the pineapple back down and cut it into half-inch thick rounds, yielding about 8-10.
  2. In a small sauce pan, heat the spiced rum until warm. Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. Oil the bottom rack of the grill (or, conversely, an indoor grill pan) thoroughly.
  4. Brush the pineapple slices with the rum, sugar, and vanilla marinade, setting aside a few spoonfuls for topping the completed dessert.
  5. Grill the pineapple slices over medium heat-high for about 3-5 minutes per side until caramelized but not charred, then flip and grill the opposite side. Continue to brush the pineapple slices with the rum marinade as they cook.
  6. Serve while still warm, topped with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle the reserved rum marinade over the ice cream.
