Grilled Pineapple Butterscotch Sundaes

Another recipe found in a recent TOH magazine that I am posting for safe keeping (so I can throw away magazine). The original called for nutmeg, but I changed it to cinnamon, feel free to use either one. I would make the sauce ahead of time and then just heat in the microwave after grilling the pineapple. The author also stated that sometimes she likes to use bananas in this recipe, too Just be careful when grilling them; don't let the bananas get too soft. Grilling pineapple caramelizes its natural sugars and intensifies the sweet flavor. Note: Zaar wouldn't accept 2 fresh pineapples.
