Directions:
Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about ½-inch each. 

Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.

Spray a cold grill surface with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. 

Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared.

While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. 

Remove the sauce from the heat.

Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop ¼ cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.
