Ingredients

• 1 whole Fresh pineapple
• 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
• 2 scoops per serving Ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler on the high setting and position a rack about 6 inches below the heating element.

Step 2

Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and cut it into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges, depending on your preference.

Step 3

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 15–20 seconds).

Step 4

Mix the melted butter with brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.

Step 5

Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer on a large, broiler-safe baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 6

Brush the bourbon glaze generously over both sides of the pineapple slices.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 4–5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The glaze should bubble and the pineapple should start to caramelize.

Step 8

Flip the pineapple slices, brush with more glaze if needed, and broil for another 4–5 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, or enjoy on its own!
