• Oven method: Pineapple may also be broiled by placing 4 inches below broiler in oven for about 10 minutes; turning occasionally until lightly browned. Brush with rum and sprinkle with lime peel. Serve hot or warm. Note: I used a grill pan so that the pineapple wedges would have the "grill marks".
