Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 (3 1/2-to 4-pounds) pineapple, peeled
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
2 teaspoons curry powder (preferably Madras)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Toast coconut in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut pineapple crosswise into 8 slices (about 3/4 inch thick) and core slices. Stir together remaining ingredients in a shallow glass baking dish and add pineapple in 1 layer, turning to coat evenly. Marinate, turning occasionally, 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat; see Grilling Procedure .
  • Oil grill rack. Grill pineapple (reserve marinade), covered, turning once, until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through, about 4 minutes. Serve pineapple with marinade and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
