Jamaican Pineapple Wedges

By Hklbrries

"2 servings if used alone, 4 servings if used as an ice cream topping.

'Fruit can be grilled using indirect heat. Spread the coals to each side, place a disposable aluminum pan in the middle and place the fruit on a grill grid over the pan. This avoids flare-ups and prevents the fruit from burning. On a gas grill, place fruit to the side with one burner off.'

'I have a grill rack just for fruit so it doesn't pick up any unwanted flavor. Oniony peaches just don't cut it.'"

Cut off green crown and slice pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 3 wedges and remove core. Cut each wedge crosswise into 1-inch slices, cutting to but not through the skin. Set aside.

Prepare grill. Bring rum, honey, brown sugar and butter to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan; set aside.

Place pineapple on a well-oiled grill grid and cook 30 minutes on indirect heat until lightly browned. Turn and baste with rum mixture every 10 minutes. Serve warm.
