Put my mind in gear for my first adventure in grilling pineapple, which turned out to be a "huge success!" With that in mind, fixed it for our Lions Club Picnic and "everyone" wanted to know how I did it and was asking for the recipe. For a real treat, fix your next hamburger with a slice of pineapple, along with a slice of tomato and red onion ... it's fantastic!

Grilled fruit is a summertime favorite and this grilled pineapple needs to be a part of your menu. It's super tasty! With a hint of orange and a hint of chipotle, the glaze is fabulous. Most of the alcohol from the rum cooks off and adds a richness to the flavor. We love how the pineapple caramelizes with the grilling process. It would add a bit of extra flavor to a hamburger or make a fabulous summertime dessert.

  • Slicing and coring the pineapple.

  • Rum, marmalade, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, chipotle pepper, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
    2
    In a small saucepan mix together the rum, marmalade, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, chipotle pepper, and cinnamon. Note: Use 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle pepper for an added 'Kick'n Dance Step' if you wish.
  • Sugar dissolving in the pan.
    3

  • Placing the pineapple slices on the grill.
