Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup spiced rum, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 medium peeled pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Thread the pineapple chunks evenly onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the pineapple skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until caramelized and grill marks appear.
Step 5: Remove from the grill and serve warm as a dessert or side.
