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 Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat to ensure a perfect sear and caramelization on the pineapple.
- Prepare Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, packed brown sugar, and ground allspice until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful glaze.
- Glaze Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple spears on a baking sheet or cutting board. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each pineapple spear with the prepared glaze for maximum flavor.
- Grill Pineapple: Place the glazed pineapple spears onto the preheated grill grates. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pineapple caramelizes and develops slight char marks.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the pineapple from the grill and allow it to cool for a few minutes to let the flavors meld and to avoid burns when serving.
- Serve: Serve the grilled pineapple warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream and whipped cream for an indulgent treat. Enjoy your tropical dessert!
Notes
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
- To avoid sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before cooking.
- Turn the pineapple frequently to achieve even caramelization without burning.
- Optional toppings such as vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhance the sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of allspice according to your taste preference.
