Ingredients

½ pineapple peeled and cored
¼ cup dark rum
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup dark brown sugar
Pinch of sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup solid coconut oil or 4 ounces (1 stick butter), cut into small pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Lay pineapple down on a cutting board, flat side down with 2 wooden spoons on either side as cutting guides. Cut slices, ¼ inch apart, while allowing the spoons to stop your knife going all the way through, to hold the pineapple together.
Place cut pineapple in a casserole dish, and set aside.
Whisk rum, orange juice, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla together. Brush pineapple with mixture. Dot with coconut oil or butter. Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
Baste pineapple with pan juice. Bake pineapple for 15 minutes more. Remove from oven, slice and serve with dairy-free ice cream, pound cake, or just by itself.
