We love our grill and it's not just for meat anymore. We served up grilled pineapple with big scoops of vanilla ice cream to top off our last barbecue and it proved to be a winner. We also grilled some white peaches but found that the pineapple was the hands down favorite as the ripe peaches were just a little too soft.
The hot grill caramelizes the sugars in the pineapple, leaving sugar brown grill marks on the ripe fruit. Cut the top and bottom of your pineapple, slice off the outside with a sharp knife, and then cut it down the middle, top to bottom. Cut once more so you have quarter pieces and angle the knife to remove the core and leave a nice, flat side ready for grilling.
We brushed the grilled fruit with a mixture of honey, a little melted butter, cinnamon and a bit of hot water to thin the mixture. Once off the grill, cut into chunks and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm, summer is off and running!

ummmm PERSONALLY i thought the peaches were perfect!! i would not change a thing about that dish.
maybe i would have preferred to have someone spoon it INTO my mouth for me, but whatever
You did a very nice job grilling, Ms. Mikel.
I'll be sure to hire a nice young man to spoon feed you next time. But you've still got grill duty.
Sincerely,
Grill Dad.
If you haven't had the High On Fire burger at Kuma's, featuring roasted red pepper and grilled pineapple, holy shit is it good. It's gotta be the best thing on the menu - and I've eaten my way through it a few times.
I tried out some dessert kabobs, from a Steven Raichlen recipe, last week with angel food cake, pineapple, mango, and mint, brushed with a marinade of coconut milk, melted butter and nutmeg on cinnamon stick skewers. talk about decadence.
