a little of each

Ingredients

• 2 ripe medium pineapples
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 Tbl butter, softened
• 1/3 cup dark rum

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Cut the pineapples, including the green tops, into half and then into quarters. Cut the core from each quarter. Neatly cut each quarter into ½ – 1-inch slices, but not through the skin. Slice each quarter lengthwise, parallel to the skin, allowing the smaller slices to be removed. Combine the remaining ingredients to form a paste, adding a little water if needed. Spread over pineapple. Wrap the green tops in foil and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove the foil, and serve warm or at room temperature with toothpicks.
