INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the grill to high. Cut the leafy top off the pineapple, then
cut off the rind. Slice the fruit into 8 or 10 even rounds. Using a
pineapple corer or paring knife, remove the core from each round. When
ready to cook, place the melted butter in a shallow bowl; combine the
sugar, lime zest, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Bring both bowls to
grill side. Oil the grill grate. Dip each slice of pineapple first in
melted butter, then in the sugar mixture, shaking off the excess.
Arrange the pineapple slices on the hot grate and grill, turning with
tongs, until brown and sizzling, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the
pineapple slices to plates or a platter, arranging the slices in an
overlapping fashion. If using the rum, warm it in a small flameproof
saucepan on one side of the grill; do not let it boil or even become
hot. Remove from the heat and then, ,making sure your sleeves are
rolled up and hair is tied back, light a long match and use it to
ignite the rum, averting your face as you do so. Very carefully pour
the flaming rum over the pineapple and serve immediately. Serves 8 to
