Smoked Pineapple Rumaki Recipes

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
• Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
• After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
• Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
• Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
• After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
• Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
• Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Now get ready to serve the rumaki.

• Can be prepared several hours ahead up to this point.
• Set up grill for three-zone grilling and preheat (see intro for instructions).
• Brush and oil the grill grate.
• If using skewers, fold a length of aluminum foil in half lengthwise and place on grate on the edge closest to you, so that it covers all three heat zones. (You will not need the foil if using toothpicks; it's to keep the ends of the skewers from burning.).
• Place rumaki on hot zone. If using skewers, make sure the ends are on top of the foil shield. Do this in batches if necessary.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade syrup.
• Move to medium or cool zone if the bacon fat causes flareups.
