Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh pineapple
- 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons spiced rum
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 scoops (per serving) optional vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the pineapple by peeling it, removing the core, and slicing it into 1-inch thick rings or wedges.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the brown sugar, spiced rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until combined. Allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes to form a syrup.
Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
Pour the rum syrup evenly over the pineapple, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, basting the pineapple with the syrup from the dish halfway through. The pineapple should be tender and caramelized at the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the pineapple cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
