Grapefruit Pineapple Bellini Trishia Yearwood Recipes

GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise from the very top to the bottom (keeping the leaves on). Then cut each half lengthwise in half again, so you have 4 long pieces with leaves at one end.
• Add the jelly, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is fully combined and liquid.
• Brush the pineapple with some of the mixture (reserve the remaining mixture), transfer to the grill and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and, using a sharp knife, cut the bottom ends off each piece of pineapple. Then, carefully cut lengthwise from the bottom to the top of each piece along the skin (separating the fruit from the skin), and then crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
• Drizzle the remaining apricot mixture over the pineapple. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

TRISHA'S SIGNATURE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Stir together the grapefruit juice, cranberry juice and vodka in a cocktail shaker. Pour over ice in a cocktail glass and serve garnished with a lime wedge.

PINEAPPLE SWEET TEA

Steps:

• Drain the pineapple chunks and reserve the juice. Place the pineapple chunks in 2 silicone ice cube trays and fill the trays with cold water (it's ok if the pineapple floats up). Freeze overnight.
• Pour 2 cups boiling water over the tea bags in a heat-safe measuring cup and let the tea stand for 10 minutes. Into a large pitcher, add the reserved pineapple juice, sugar and 1 cup cold water. Stir to mix slightly. Remove the tea bags from the tea mixture. Pour the hot tea into the sugar mixture and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add 8 cups water to the pitcher and refrigerate until serving.
• When ready to serve, drop the pineapple ice cubes into the tea
