1. Lightly spray a grill and heat until hot. Place pineapple slices on the grill and allow to cook 3-4 minutes on each side. (When it is time to flip, you should see caramelized grill marks on the slice.)
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the butter, rum and sugar to almost a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is slightly thick and can coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Whisk occasionally to insure that it doesn't separate. Spoon sauce over pineapple and serve warm.
Daily Kool on 08 Jun 09Summer vacation is finally here, and if you haven't done it already, it's definitely time to break out the barbecue grill. Many childhood memories feature Dad commanding our little charcoal grill, while the rest of us frolicked in the pool. Unfortunately, his skills were pretty much limited to puck...achem, hamburgers and hot dogs. The side dishes more than made up for it, though...particularly Mom's amazing pasta salad. Besides, it's more about the joy of being in the company of family than about the food, especially for the kids...yeah, right!
