My brother has been singing the praises of grilled pineapple, so I set out to find a good recipe and try it out. We have been loving this Tucanos Pineapple from Kieras Recipes. (I really only got a taste because my 8 year old gobbled up the rest.)
Ingredients:
* One half pineapple, cut into long spears
* 1 TBPS butter
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 Tsp. cinnamon, in all
* lemon juice
Fire up the grill to medium heat. Before putting the pineapple down, sprinkle the spears with half of the cinnamon and a little bit of brown sugar. This will facilitate a sweetness and instant carmelization when they hit the grill.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar and the rest of the cinnamon. Heat until bubbly and the sugar is properly melted.
Grill the pineapple spears over direct heat about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally. Each time it turns, baste with a brush of glaze. When finished, plate up and drizzle a final amount of glaze on top.
This sounds DELICIOUS! Cant wait to try it! I came to your blog my Google looking for "Grilled pineapple like Tucanos" and this came up.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to try this but, where exactly does the lemon juice come in?
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering that, so I just put enough in the mixture so it became a glaze (it was thick before). I tried it tonight for part of our 4th of July dinner on the grill. The recipe turned out alright. It was yummy, but not an exact Tucanos match.
