Maple Glazed Grilled Pineapple
This grilled pineapple is like the one they serve at Brazilian steak houses. If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat! Grilled juicy sweetness!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- A little vegetable oil to oil the grill
Instructions
- Start up your grill and bring it up to about 400 to 425 °F.
- Cut off the top of the pineapple.
- Cut off the bottom of the pineapple.
- Stand the pineapple on it's cut base, and start slicing strips of the peel with a sharp knife from the top to the bottom.
- Keep rotating the pineapple and cutting strips until you've removed all of the peel.
- With the pineapple still standing on the cut base, cut down the centre, length wise.
- Turn the pineapple 90 degrees and cut down the pineapple again creating a cross. You should now have 4 equal quarters cut.
- Cut the inside edge of each quarter to remove the pineapple core.
- Cut each quarter length-wise into 2 or 3 long pieces, depending on the size of your pineapple. These shouldn't be too thin, so they don't break on the grill.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Oil the grill (to prevent the food from sticking to the grill)
- Place the pineapple slices on the grill.
- Brush the butter and maple syrup mix glaze over the slices and turn them over with tongs.
- Brush the other side of the slices and close the lid.
- Grill the pineapple slices for about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Open the BBQ lid and turn the slices over. Brush them with the glaze again.
- Close the BBQ lid and continue to grill the pineapple slices for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Open the BBQ lid and turn the slices over. Brush them with the glaze one last time.
- Close the BBQ lid and continue to grill the pineapple slices for 3 more minutes.
- Open the BBQ lid and remove the pineapple slices onto a serving dish. Enjoy them hot with some ice cream or on their own.
Notes
Be extra cautious with your knife because the pineapple might be a bit slippery.
