Jamaican Pineapple for the BBQ is a fun and summery twist on a classic grilled pineapple. The recipe incorporates the flavors of Jamaica with a sweet and boozy rum, honey, and brown sugar mixture that adds a deliciously tropical taste to the fruit. The dish is perfect for outdoor events like BBQs, picnics, or parties, and is sure to be a hit with friends and family. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors pairs well with various BBQ dishes such as grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp.

Instructions

1.	Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, then remove the skin and eyes. Cut the pineapple into large wedges and remove the core.
2.	In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the rum, honey, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is syrupy (about 5-7 minutes).
3.	Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat. If you're using a gas grill, turn off one of the burners. If you're using a charcoal grill, pile the coals to one side.
4.	Brush the pineapple wedges with the rum mixture and place them on the cooler side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with more rum mixture, until the pineapple is golden brown and caramelized.
