GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH MOLASSES-LIME BUTTER
Serves 6
1 ripe pineapple, cored, top and bottom removed
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons molasses
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lime juice
Cooking Directions
Cut pineapple crosswise into 6 slices, each about one inch thick.
Brush cut surfaces of pineapple slices lightly with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill over medium coals about 8-10 minutes, until golden brown, turn and grill other side to brown.
Meanwhile, combine molasses, butter and lime juice in small saucepan and heat together over low heat, stirring, until butter is melted.
Remove pineapple slices from grill, brush with molasses-lime butter and serve.
Serving Suggestions
Fresh pineapple is great on the grill. Glaze with the flavored butter to give the pineapple slices a great rich flavor and color. Serve along side Caribbean Roast Pork or Smoky Citrus Kabobs.
