2. Cut pineapple into 8 slices, each about 3/4-inch thick. Cut pound cake into 8 slices, each about 1-inch thick. Heat gas grill to medium or prepare charcoal grill with medium-hot coals.

3. Brush pineapple with some of the rum sauce. Grill 5 minutes, turning once, until grill marks form. Set aside. Grill pound cake slices 2 minutes or until grill marks appear, turning once.

4. Serve pound cake slices, topped with grilled pineapple and a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with remaining sauce.

Note: You could substitute additional juice for the rum, if desired.
