This vibrant dessert brings the taste of the islands to your backyard grill. Fresh pineapple wedges are brushed with a complex sauce made from butter, brown sugar, honey, and dark rum, then grilled until caramelized and charred. The heat brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit while adding a smoky depth that pairs perfectly with the tangy Worcestershire note. It’s an easy, elegant way to end a summer dinner party or a casual barbecue. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a striking contrast of hot and cold textures.
