Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into spears
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat to ensure a perfect caramelization without burning the pineapple.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground allspice until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful glaze.
- Glaze the Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple spears on a baking sheet or cutting board. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each spear with the butter and brown sugar glaze.
- Grill the Pineapple: Place the glazed pineapple spears on the grill grates. Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally to allow even caramelization and slight charring on all sides.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the pineapple from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes to lock in the juices and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm grilled pineapple with vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream for an irresistible dessert experience.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm pineapple for the best texture and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar in the glaze depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Watch the pineapple carefully on the grill to prevent it from burning.
- This dessert pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or coconut sorbet.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of rum into the glaze.
