RUM AND HONEY GRILLED PINEAPPLE ON TOASTED POUND CAKE
From the Summer issue of It's All Fresh. Barbecuing Tip: Don't forget to give your barbecue a good brush before attempting to cook any dessert. You don't want your pound cake to taste like chicken and ribs or olive oil and garlic basted steak. I don't want you to come knocking at my door with pound cake tasting like chicken fried "whatever" demanding compensation. If you are a barbecuing enthusiast (like me), you will have lots of grilling toys that will not touch the barbecue grill, still give you beautiful results and not fail to Wow your guests with a Start to Finish Meal, Outdoors. You deserve respect for your efforts. We started our barbecue party with recipe #307670. Here, then is the dessert.

- Brush the pineapple wedges with the glaze and place on tray.
- Brush melted butter over each side of pound cake slices.
- Barbecue pineapple over medium heat, brushing frequently with glaze and turning occasionally, until caramelized and golden.

RUM PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the cherries and the spiced rum. In another bowl add the pineapple and the 3/4 cup of rum. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, add 1 3/4 sticks butter and the sugar and cream together until pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla extract and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, over medium heat, add the remaining 1/4 stick butter and heat until the butter has just melted. Add the brown sugar and using a slotted spoon, add the pineapple pieces, reserving the rum. Saute until they begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Add the cherries and the rum they soaked in. Remove the skillet from the heat and light the rum with a long kitchen match. When the flames subside, return the pan to the heat and cook until most of the alcohol has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool 6 to 10 minutes before adding the batter. Remove half the fruit back into the reserved rum for garnishing later.
- Add the batter to the skillet and put in the oven. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes before unmolding. To unmold, run a small knife around the edge of the cake, take a large serving plate and put it over the cast iron skillet. Carefully flip over and let sit for a couple of minutes until it releases from the skillet.
- Put the creme fraiche in a small bowl and stir in the zests. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and the reserved fruit.
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.
GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH POUND CAKE AND RUM-CARAMEL SAUCE
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, add the brown sugar and rum and cook, whisking until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream and cook until heated through and slightly thickened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, keep warm.
- Heat the grill to high.
- Brush the pineapple on both sides with the oil and place on the grill. Grill until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from the grill, stack the slices and cut into chunks. While the pineapple is grilling, place the pound cake on the grill until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 20 seconds on each side. Remove the pineapple from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, either slice or cut into chunks.
- Top each piece of pound cake with some of the pineapple and drizzle with the caramel-rum sauce. Top with more pound cake, vanilla ice cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.

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.

Add the sour cream, evaporated milk, flour, and vanilla; beat together for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pineapple in a grill pan over medium heat.
- Be sure to baste the pineapple with the rum and honey mixture frequently while it is grilling. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from burning.
- If you are using a wooden skewer to hold the pineapple slices together, be sure to soak it in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Serve the grilled pineapple immediately with toasted pound cake and a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Rum and honey grilled pineapple on toasted pound cake is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy pineapple pairs perfectly with the rich and buttery pound cake, and the rum and honey glaze adds a touch of boozy sweetness.
