Top sweet grilled pineapple with ice cream and drizzle a fantastic brown sugar rum sauce over top for a spectacular summertime dessert.
As we enter the final week of our Get Grillin’ event, Marla of Family Fresh Cooking and I would like to thank each and every one of you who generously shared your recipes. If you are looking for some inspiring summer barbecue ideas (grilled and not grilled), take some time to peruse the amazing array of appetizers, side dishes, entrees, vegetarian dishes and kabobs. We are ushering the event out with a bang – that means desserts, of course. I am sharing a recipe for grilled pineapple with a buttery brown sugar and rum sauce.
This dessert comes together in minutes. The buttery, sweet sauce is brightened by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and made more “adult” with a splash of dark rum. Make a virgin sauce by leaving out the rum or get down to business by adding another splash or two. Either way, the warm sauce turns the edges of the vanilla ice cream into rivulets that spill over the stacked grilled fruit.
Marla and I send a very heartfelt thank to our sponsors, who not only provided some wonderful giveaways, but shared links to many of your recipes on their Facebook pages. Thanks to Ile de France Cheese, Rösle, Emile Henry, Rouxbe and ManPans.
The recipe:
The sauce:
In a large skillet or medium saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the brown sugar and flour. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 2 minutes to eliminate the taste of the raw flour.
By the way, I used my awesome ManPans pan for this sauce. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite pans.
Pour in the half-and-half and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in rum, fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract. Keep the sauce warm over low heat until ready to use, whisking occasionally.
The pineapple:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill with canola oil.
Lay the pineapple on the grill and cook, about 5 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. Remove the pineapple from the heat, and serve with ice cream and the brown sugar rum sauce.

jojoba benefits
Native Americans have been using them as a traditional
remedy for wounds for a few centuries. Jojoba mimics the sebum found naturally in human
skin and can replenish skin that has become dry due to age, weather, environmental pollutants or stresses.
Let’s just say there’s a lot of tears being shed,
and I kind of expect it to go on for a few more weeks, at least –
healing process, you know.

I’ve added my Blueberry Enchiladas with Cornmeal Crepe Recipe. They are a great “not so sweet” dessert or even brunch dish. You can bake then in a large dish and serve a crowd.
