Ingredients
Coconut Sauce1 can coconut milk, full fat (14-ounce can/398 ml)
2 tsp brown sugar, packed (10 ml)
1 to 2 tbsp. dark rum (15 to 30 ml)
1 tsp vanilla (5 ml)

1/2 pineapple, peeled and cored and cut in spears
lime wedges, for garnish, to sprinkle of over fruit
Directions
Coconut Sauce1. Add coconut milk and brown sugar to a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let hard simmer, stirring occasionally until reduces by half, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg and stir in rum and vanilla. Let sit until cooled to room temperature and then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours. Mixture will thicken as it chills. Sprinkle with toasted coconut if desired and serve with Grilled Tropical Fruit.
Grilled Tropical Fruit1. Preheat grill to high. Clean the grill well with brush. Oil the grill with a little vegetable oil so fruit doesn't stick.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Grill bananas, mangoes and pineapples until nice grill marks and fruit softens slightly, about 3 minutes per side. If using regular bananas, cut them in smaller pieces. Serve warm with Coconut Sauce and lime wedges.
