Ingredients

• 1 whole Pineapple
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Dark Rum
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
• 2 teaspoons Jerk Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
• 4 leaves Mint Leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the pineapple and cut it into 8 long wedges, removing the core from each wedge.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, dark rum, lime juice, jerk seasoning, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract. Allow the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Brush each pineapple wedge with a little bit of the prepared jerked honey rum glaze.

Step 5

Place the pineapple wedges on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is lightly caramelized.

Step 6

While grilling, occasionally baste the pineapple wedges with more of the glaze for additional flavor.

Step 7

Once done, remove the pineapple from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
