Grilled Pineapple With Bourbon Sauce Recipes

BOURBON PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Quarter a pineapple lengthwise; peel, core and thinly slice. Toss in a baking dish with a shot of bourbon, 1/4 cup brown sugar and a pinch of allspice; dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake at 350 degrees F, stirring twice, about 1 hour, 30 minutes. Serve with coconut sorbet.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH BOURBON-BUTTER SAUCE AND TOASTED PECANS

Steps:

• Heat a gas or charcoal grill, or a stovetop grill pan, over medium heat.
• Brush the cut sides of the fruit with just enough grapeseed oil to lightly coat. Sprinkle the cut
• sides with the sugar and cinnamon.
• Place the fruit on the grill, cut side down, and cook until caramelized, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the fruit is grilling, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Whisk in the bourbon and brown sugar, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer until the sauce is thick and glazy. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
• For each serving, place the grilled fruit in a bowl and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the bourbon sauce and top with toasted pecans.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE BUTTERSCOTCH SUNDAES

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat 6 tablespoons butter, white sugar, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Brush pineapple spears with butter mixture.
• Arrange pineapple on preheated grill and cover; grill until lightly browned, turning occasionally, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer pineapple to a platter.
• Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in another saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and salt. Serve pineapple topped with cream sauce and ice cream.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH BOURBON SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare sauce, cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape beans from pod; discard pod. Combine beans, brown sugar, bourbon and orange juice in a small non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter and lime peel, whisking until butter is melted. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Cut pineapple in half lengthwise; reserve one half for another use. Cut other half of pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut out and discard core from pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into 3 spears. There should be 6 spears. Brush all sides of spears with oil.
• Grill pineapple until warmed and grill-marked, about 1 - 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat. When cool enough to handle, cut each spear in half crosswise.
• To serve, place 3 pineapple pieces and ice cream into each of 4 bowls. Top each serving with sauce.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM REDUCTION SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 8 wedges, remove core and rind with a knife.
• Place the wedges into a freezer bag with the brown sugar, seal the bag and massage brown sugar onto the wedges.
• Allow the pineapple to macerate in the brown sugar for anywhere from two hours to two days; refrigerate if macerating more than a few hours. The pineapple should release enough juice to dissolve the brown sugar completely.
• Heat the grill to medium heat.
• Add the vanilla and rum to the bag, seal and shake.
• Remove the pineapple from the bag and place it on the grill.
• When the pineapple becomes caramel colored on the bottom side, rotate it. Repeat for each of the 3 sides of each wedge, then remove from the grill.
• Pour the juice from the bag into a saucepan and reduce over medium heat to a thick syrup (be careful of flare-ups during the first minutes since there will be alcohol from the rum and vanilla extract).
• Serve the pineapple alongside a main dish or serve with ice cream and drizzle with the reduction sauce.
