Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish is all about bold simplicity. The natural sweetness of pineapple meets the rich, spiced depth of Bumbu Original Rum, melted together with butter and brown sugar to create a sticky, caramel-like glaze. It’s tropical, indulgent, and incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients

• 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into spears

• 2 tbsp butter

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup Bumbu Original Rum

  
  

Instructions

1. Make the Glaze

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and Bumbu Rum. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.

2. Prep the Pineapple

Place pineapple spears on a baking tray (for oven-roasting) or directly on a hot grill. Brush generously with the rum glaze.

3. Cook Until Caramelised

• Grill: Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing with more glaze as you go, until golden and slightly charred.

• Oven: Roast at 200°C (390°F) for 15–20 minutes, turning once and basting halfway through.

  
  

4. Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining glaze. These spears are perfect on their own, or paired with vanilla ice cream, coconut rice, or alongside grilled meats.

Serving Ideas

• As a dessert with ice cream or whipped cream

• As a side dish for BBQ chicken or pork

• Chopped and added to tropical tacos or salads

• With a Bumbu cocktail for the full island experience

  
  

Pro Tips
