Here's my favorite Grilled Pineapple recipe:


Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups dark rum
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
1 large ripe pineapple, peeled and trimmed, eyes carefully removed
4 slices lemon (or plain) pound cake
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup caramelized toasted walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
When the simple syrup is cool, combine it with the rum, brown sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg to taste in a large, shallow baking dish, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Add the whole pineapple and turn to coat all sides with the rum mixture. Cover lightly with plastic film and marinate at room temperature for 12 hours (or refrigerated for up to 2 days), turning frequently so that all sides of the pineapple have absorbed some of the marinade. Remove the pineapple from the dish, separately reserving the marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Place the pineapple on the preheated grill. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until all areas of the pineapple are beginning to glaze and the center has begun to cook slightly.
Slice pineapple, place on slices of pound cake, add vanilla ice cream, drizzle on some of the leftover marinade and nuts (if desired).
