Ingredients
1 fresh pineapple
¼ cup rum
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
Peel and core whole pineapple, then slice into eight rings. Place pineapple rings in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Mix together rum, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl. Pour marinade over pineapple. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
Preheat the grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
Remove pineapple rings from the dish and reserve remaining marinade for serving.
Grill pineapple rings until dry and char-marked, about 7 minutes on each side. Serve with remaining marinade.
Recipe Tip
For the drizzling glaze, you can substitute a half cup of fruit juice for the sugar and rum in the marinade.
