A quick and easy summer treat featuring juicy grilled pineapple caramelized with cinnamon sugar and a subtle rum glaze, perfect for backyard gatherings or a simple dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum (e.g., Bacardi Black)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and slicing into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and stir well.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and mix with 2 tablespoons dark rum and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  4. Using a basting brush, coat each pineapple slice with the butter-rum mixture, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously on both sides. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  6. Place pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, basting once more with the rum butter mixture halfway through.
  7. Check for tenderness and caramelized crust; cook an extra minute per side if needed but avoid overcooking.
  8. Remove from grill, let rest for a minute, and optionally sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt before serving.

Notes

Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the sugar. Let pineapple rest after coating to absorb flavors. For non-alcoholic version, substitute rum with pineapple or orange juice. Clean and oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Can be served warm or at room temperature and pairs well with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
