Yield: 8 servings
 
Ingredients:
1 pineapple
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tsp. butter
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. rum
1 pint vanilla ice cream
 
Instructions:
1. Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring. 
2. Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat it over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. 
3. While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and run in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat. 
4. Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.
