Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons rum (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium heat, or preheat your oven to a medium setting.
- Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting off the crown from the pineapple and discarding it. Without peeling the pineapple, cut it lengthwise into 6 wedges. Remove the core from each piece.
- Create Pineapple Wedges: Using a serrated knife, loosen the pineapple from the outer rind. Cut the fruit almost through crosswise into wedges, but do not remove the rind.
- Assemble on Foil: Place each pineapple wedge on a 12-inch square double sheet of foil.
- Add Flavors: Drizzle the pineapple wedges with maple syrup, sprinkle with rum (if using), and dot with butter.
- Fold and Seal: Fold up the foil, sealing it loosely to leave room for steam.
- Bake: Place the foil packets on the grill over medium-hot coals or in the oven on a medium setting. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the pineapple is very hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packets, and serve the hot baked pineapple immediately. You can top it with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
