Maple-Grilled Pineapple Slices With Mascarpone

You can use either drained, canned pineapple slices or fresh. Fresh is a bit more durable and easier to handle on the grill. If serving the latter, simply cut off the skin and cut the pineapple into thick slices. You'll need either six large or 12 medium pineapple slices to make enough for six servings.
