Ingredients for Bbq Baked Pineapple

• 6 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon dark rum (optional, or substitute with extra maple syrup)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• Whipped Cream

How to Make Bbq Baked Pineapple

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut off the crown of a medium-sized pineapple (about 2 lbs) and discard.
3. Without peeling, cut the pineapple lengthwise into 6 wedges.
4. Remove the core from each pineapple wedge.
5. Using a serrated knife, carefully loosen the pineapple flesh from the outer rind, making almost-through cuts crosswise into smaller wedges (about 2 inches wide), but leave the rind intact.
6. Place each pineapple wedge on a 12-inch square piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
7. Drizzle each wedge with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
8. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dark rum (or substitute with extra maple syrup) over each wedge.
9. Dot each wedge with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
10. Fold up the foil, sealing loosely to allow for steam to escape.
11. If grilling, place foil packets directly on the grill grates. If baking, place foil packets on a baking sheet.
12. Bake or grill for 30-40 minutes, or until the pineapple is very hot, bubbly, and caramelized.
13. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
