Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons organic low glycemic agave syrup
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 key limes, juiced and zested

• 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
• Key lime peel, grated

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine agave nectar, oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and cinnamon.
2. Cut each pineapple half lengthwise into 4 long wedges; cut each wedge in half crosswise. You will have 16 pieces.
3. Prepare grill on medium heat. Lightly brush pineapple with marinade.
