Time 2h32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 vanilla bean
8 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1 cup firmly packed
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Pinch kosher salt
1 whole pineapple
8 (12-inch) metal skewers

Steps:

  • Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp, and add the pod and the pulp to a small saucepan along with the brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Whisk together and place the mixture over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 hours before using. Remove the vanilla pod. Once cool, place the syrup in a squeeze bottle or other sealable container. Store in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat grill on high.
  • Peel and remove the core from the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into eighths, lengthwise, and remove any prickly brown eyes.
  • Thread the pieces of pineapple onto the skewers lengthwise. Coat the skewered pineapple on all sides with the syrup. Grill on all sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side, 12 minutes total, or until the pineapple is tender. Serve with any remaining sauce.

These skewers are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some in my freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them for.

I'm not usually a fan of pineapple, but these skewers changed my mind. The combination of flavors is just perfect.

These skewers are so refreshing and flavorful. I love the pop of citrus from the lime and the sweetness from the pineapple.

The combination of sweet and savory flavors in these skewers is amazing. The vanilla and lime add a nice subtle sweetness, while the pineapple and chili powder give them a bit of a kick.

These skewers were a hit at my last party! The flavors of vanilla, lime, and pineapple were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.
