Grilled Pound Cake with Tequila-Soaked Pineapple image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup tequila reposado
16 fresh pineapple rings (1/3 inch thick)
1 cup heavy cream
3 to 4 tablespoons butter, softened
8 slices store-bought or homemade pound cake (3/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint plus 8 sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, tequila and 1/4 cup water. Set the pan on the grill (or a side burner on medium-high heat) and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand until cool.
  • Put the pineapple slices in a baking dish and pour the cooled syrup over them, tossing gently to coat. Let stand at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Whip the heavy cream in a bowl to the soft-peak stage. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Spread the butter on both sides of each pound cake slice and grill, turning once, until light golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain the pineapple, reserving the syrup, and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side.
  • To assemble, place each pound cake slice on a dessert plate and top with 2 pineapple rings. Drizzle a little of the tequila syrup over each plate, top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a mint sprig and some chopped mint.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH TEQUILA-BROWN SUGAR GLAZE



Grilled Pineapple With Tequila-Brown Sugar Glaze image

I have used dark rum instead of the Tequila with equally good results. I also microwave the pineapple for 2 minutes, then marinade it in the glaze. This is great with vanilla ice cream over the top! Prep time includes marinating. Adapted from Bon Appetit magazine, July 1997.

Yield Makes 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup tequila
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 2x1-inch pieces
6 bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes, drained

Steps:

  • Stir first 4 ingredients in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Thread pineapple pieces onto 6 skewers, dividing equally. (Tequila mixture and pineapple skewers can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill pineapple until brown, basting with tequila mixture and turning occasionally, about 10 minutes total. Remove pineapple from skewers; serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a golden yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the pineapple into even slices and prevent the fruit from tearing.
  • Grill the pineapple over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pineapple from burning and will allow it to caramelize slightly.
  • Baste the pineapple with the glaze frequently: This will help to keep the pineapple moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the pineapple immediately: Grilled pineapple is best served fresh off the grill. It can be enjoyed on its own or topped with yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Grilled pineapple is a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. The tequila brown sugar glaze adds a unique and flavorful twist to this classic summer treat. Whether you're looking for a refreshing snack, a healthy dessert, or a side dish to accompany your next grilled meal, grilled pineapple with tequila brown sugar glaze is sure to please.
