How to Make Baked Rum Pineapple

  1. **Day Before:**
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup molasses, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/4 cup dark rum. Mix until a smooth paste forms.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. **2 Hours Before Party:**
  5. Remove rum paste from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Cut one whole pineapple into quarters. Remove the core and cut the pineapple flesh into bite-sized pieces.
  8. Return the pineapple pieces to the pineapple shell.
  9. Place the pineapple in a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover the leafy top with foil.
  10. Brush the pineapple pieces generously with the room temperature rum paste.
  11. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and let it sit until ready to bake.
  12. **To Bake:**
  13. Remove plastic wrap and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pineapple is glazed and lightly browned.
  14. Carefully remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  15. Arrange on a platter with toothpicks and serve warm. Repeat steps 5-12 for additional pineapples, baking one at a time.
  16. Serve immediately and enjoy!
