GRILLED VANILLA-GINGER PINEAPPLE

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.
