Grilled Vanilla Ginger Pineapple Recipes

GRILLED VANILLA-GINGER PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Cut ends off pineapple. Quarter lengthwise, peel and core.
• Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill. (If you are using the grill after cooking meat or fish, allow residue to burn off and scrape away with a spatula.) Stir together vanilla extract, ginger palm sugar syrup or honey, and cayenne.
• Brush pineapple wedges lightly with butter or oil and place on grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting with the syrup, until you see grill marks and the pineapple is lightly colored. Remove to a platter or to plates and brush on remaining syrup or honey. Garnish with fresh mint, and serve warm.

HUNGRY GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH SO-GOOD CINNAMON-VANILLA YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Spray a grill or grill pan with nonstick spray and bring to medium heat. Lay pineapple rings flat and cook until slightly blackened and caramelized, about 3 minutes per side, flipping carefully. Set aside to cool.
• For the dip: Combine the yogurt, no-calorie sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly blended and smooth. If you like, chill for at least 10 minutes before dipping. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, if using.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.
• Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)
• While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.
