Grilled Pineapple With Spiced Rum Butter Sauce Recipes

EASY (& FLAMELESS!) PINEAPPLE FOSTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together rum, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then in a glass baking dish (or other container), lay out the pineapple rings and pour the rum mixture over them. Toss to coat, then let soak for at least 15 minutes, flipping the pineapple midway through.
• When you are ready to cook the pineapple, strain out the extra rum sauce from the pan of pineapple, and transfer it to a small saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, or until reduced by half. Set aside.
• While the sauce is cooking, heat a grill pan or saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray. Add pineapple slices in an even layer (you may need to do this in multiple batches) and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving plates, and set aside. Repeat with remaining pineapple.
• Top each pineapple ring with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with rum sauce. (If desired, you can also lightly dust the pineapple with some extra cinnamon.) Serve immediately.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 400° F. cleaning and oiling the grates well. Peel, cut and core the pineapple into 6-8 rings that are approximately 3/4 - 1 inch thick. Brush the pineapple rings lightly with oil or melted butter.
• While the grill preheats, combine the brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, butter (if using it) and pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer until it's reduced and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce into a jar or serving bowl and set aside while the pineapple grills.
• Place the pineapple rings onto the grill and cover with the lid. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and have grill marks, then flip them over and grill another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove the pineapple from the grill. Serve the pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, rum sauce and toasted slivered almonds on top.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
• Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
• 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.
• Heat the grill to medium heat.
• Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
• Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
• 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.
• 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).
• Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.

RUM BUTTERED GLAZED GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH VANILLA SCENTED MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Melt butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan. Grill pineapple on both sides until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Spoon rum glaze over grilled pineapple.
• Whisk together mascarpone and vanilla seeds. Top each slice of pineapple with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries.

RUM-INFUSED GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high.
• Peel pineapple and cut crosswise into 6 slices.
• In a small bowl, mix rum and sugar.
• Place pineapple in a bowl and drizzle the rum/sugar over the slices.
• Stir well so every piece gets coated (may let stand for 3-5 minutes, to absorb flavors.).
• On a medium hot grill, place the slices for about 5-8 minutes, turning once. Remember to watch closely since the sugars can burn and become overly charred.
• Top with your favorite Ice cream and some whipped topping. (or fresh whipped cream!).
