CARAMELIZED GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH BROWN SUGAR CHILI GLAZE

Steps:

• Peel pineapple and cut lengthwise into eight wedges; remove core. Line pineapple in a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13 pan. Set aside. *See Notes on detailed instructions on how to peel pineapple.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Carefully stir in orange juice (as it will bubble up), followed by chili powder, salt, pepper and cloves. Increase heat and bring to a simmer until the mixture reduces to about 1/2 cup and thickens into a thin syrupy consistency (it will continue to thicken upon standing so don't thicken too much). Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
• Let cool a few minutes then pour approximately 2/3 of Glaze over pineapple. Turn to coat. Reserve the remaining Glaze for basting. If your reserved Glaze becomes to thick, stir in a little water and return to heat.
• Grill pineapple over direct medium heat, basting with reserved glaze, turning occasionally, until pieces have golden brown grill marks in places, about 7-10 minutes. Serve with remaining Glaze and additional lime and chili powder if desired.
