- Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat; see Grilling Procedure .

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM REDUCTION SAUCE
If you like pineapple upside down cake, you will LOVE this grilled pineapple. Basic ingredients compliment each other perfectly. This is really best when served still hot along with vanilla ice cream, with the warm sauce drizzled on both the pineapple and the ice cream. Prep time does not include time for the pineapple to macerate since that is very flexible.

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.

Steps:
- Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.Source: foodnetwork.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.

Tips:
- For the perfect balance of flavors, choose a ripe pineapple that is slightly tart. This will help to offset the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream and rum sauce.
- To prevent the pineapple from sticking to the grill, brush it with melted butter or coconut oil before cooking.
- Cook the pineapple over medium heat until it is slightly charred and caramelized. This will take about 8-10 minutes per side.
- To make the rum sauce, use a good quality dark rum. This will give the sauce a rich, flavorful taste.
- Serve the grilled pineapple with vanilla ice cream and rum sauce immediately. This dessert is best enjoyed when the pineapple is still warm.
