Cut the Pineapple

Mix the Rum Marinade

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 cup of rum. If you prefer not to use rum, use 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar dissolved in water.

Marinate the Pineapple

Add the pineapple slices. Marinate pineapple slices in mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Grill the Pineapple

Grill pineapple slices over a high heat for approximately one minute per side. Serve pineapple slices with a scoop of ice cream or cut into slices and enjoy.
