The Best Grilled Pineapple with Brown Sugar Rum Glaze
Description
The Best Grilled Pineapple with Brown Sugar Rum Glaze combines ripe pineapple slices soaked in a rum-based marinade infused with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. After marinating for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator, the pineapple is grilled to develop caramelized grill marks and a tender texture. The leftover marinade is simmered to thicken into a pourable brown sugar rum glaze that complements the smoky, sweet pineapple. This method highlights the contrast between the juicy fruit and the spiced syrup, offering a dessert with warmth from cinnamon and depth from rum.
The grilling process softens the pineapple while adding a charred flavor that balances the sweetness. Once plated, the pineapple is topped with the reduced rum glaze and an optional serving of vanilla ice cream, enhancing the treat with creamy coolness.
Selecting a ripe pineapple with some resistance and checking ripeness by tugging its center leaf ensures the best flavor and texture. The glaze can be adjusted simply by simmering the marinade until it reaches a good consistency for pouring.
Ingredients
- 3 pineapple thick slices
- 1 cup rum
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prep the glaze by whisking rum, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract well.
- Cut pineapple into thick slices.
- Soak pineapple slices in rum, and brown sugar sauce for about 30 minutes or even overnight inside the refrigerator.
- Heat the outdoor grill or use the stove-top grilling pan method. Grill pineapple soaked in rum-brown sugar marinade for 3-5 minutes on one side.
- Once the pineapple has wonderful browned grill marks on one side, carefully flip and cook on another side until caramelized and grilled to perfection.
- For brown sugar rum glaze - Pour the rum-sugar marinade into a saucepan.
- Simmer and boil on low heat with frequent stirring.
- Cook until the sauce is thickened, with a pourable consistency.
- Serve it hot, topped with vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of brown sugar sum glaze on top
Notes
- Choose a ripe pineapple that offers slight resistance and test ripeness by gently pulling the center leaf; it should come off easily when ripe.
- Marinate the pineapple slices for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor absorption.
- Use the leftover marinade to make the brown sugar rum glaze by simmering it until thickened but still pourable.
- Serve the grilled pineapple warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream for contrast.
