3. Brown Sugar

If you want some optional toppings after your grill the pineapple, here are a couple of suggestions:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream

With the ingredients laid out, let’s start making the dessert!

Rum Soaked Pineapple Prep

If using fresh pineapple, start off by removing the rind. I stand the pineapple up and slice down on the rind. After that is completed, cut the pineapple into slices, I cut mine about 1/2″ – 3/4″ thick.

This is the easiest marinade you will ever do from here! Pour your rum into a bag or container, add the pineapple slices, close it up, place in the regfrigator and let the pineapple soak in the rum for about 1-2 hours. The longer you go, the strong the rum flavor.

Before you remove the slices from the rum, start your grill. We are going to start the pineapple out with some indirect heat at 400°, so get yourself set up with 2 zones on the grill.

After soaking the pineapple slices, remove from the bag or container, pat them dry and we are going to add some brown sugar to the top. After you have topped the pineapple with brown sugar, we are going to place them on the grill.

Pineapple Grilled Dessert

Grilling the pineapple will be relatively quick. As I mentioned above, we start off with some indirect heat, giving the pineapple a chance to soften up and give the brown sugar a chance to caramelize. After 15 minutes, we make the transfer over to direct heat. Let the pineapple grill over high heat, about 5 minutes on just the one side. Let it got for about 5 minutes or until you get some nice grill marks on the bottom.

When you reach that point, you can remove, let cool down for a minute and prepare to serve.
