GRILLED VANILLA-GINGER PINEAPPLE



Grilled Vanilla-Ginger Pineapple image

Sherry Yard has a wonderful recipe in her first cookbook, "The Secrets of Baking," called Roasted Voodoo Vanilla Pineapple. She roasts her pineapple with the dried vanilla pods that you save after you've scraped out the seeds, and fresh ginger. She inserts the pods into the flesh of the pineapple, a great idea if you're roasting the pineapple for a long time. I decided to use vanilla extract instead of the pods, because during the relatively short time on the grill they infused only the section of the pineapple they had been stuck into. I add vanilla to the ginger syrup and baste the pineapple with this sweet and pungent mix. You could also simply drizzle the pineapple with honey.

Time 25m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large ripe pineapple
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup ginger palm sugar syrup or honey
Pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon grape seed oil or canola oil
Fresh mint for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut ends off pineapple. Quarter lengthwise, peel and core.
  • Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill. (If you are using the grill after cooking meat or fish, allow residue to burn off and scrape away with a spatula.) Stir together vanilla extract, ginger palm sugar syrup or honey, and cayenne.
  • Brush pineapple wedges lightly with butter or oil and place on grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting with the syrup, until you see grill marks and the pineapple is lightly colored. Remove to a platter or to plates and brush on remaining syrup or honey. Garnish with fresh mint, and serve warm.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the pineapple and ginger. Be careful when using a sharp knife, and always cut away from your body.
  • Don't overcook the glaze: The glaze should be thick and syrupy, but it shouldn't be too thick. If you overcook the glaze, it will become too thick and sticky.
  • Use the glaze immediately: The glaze is best when it is fresh. If you need to store the glaze, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Pineapple ginger glaze is a versatile glaze that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for chicken, fish, pork, and shrimp. It can also be used on vegetables and tofu. The glaze is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. If you like a sweeter glaze, add more sugar. If you like a spicier glaze, add more ginger. No matter how you make it, pineapple ginger glaze is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
