Grilled Pineapple With Rum Reduction Sauce Recipe!

 

Servings 4

 

Ingredients:

1 pineapple, ripe
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rum

Directions:

1 Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
 

2 Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
 

3 Allow the pineapple to macerate in the brown sugar for anywhere from two hours to two days; refrigerate if macerating more than a few hours. The pineapple should release enough juice to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
 

4 Heat the grill to medium heat.
 

5 Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
 

6 Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
 

7 When the pineapple becomes caramel colored on the bottom side, rotate it. Repeat for each of the 3 sides of each wedge, then remove from the grill.
 

8 Pour the juice from the bag into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to a thick syrup (be careful of flare-ups during the first minutes since there will be alcohol from the rum and vanilla extract).
 

9 Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.
