Grilling does wonderful things to fruit as it caramelizes the sugars creating a golden brown color and intensity of flavor.
:Serves 4
All you need to add is a little ice cream, a few chopped nuts, and you will have a dessert your family will ask for time after time. This is a nice, light summer time dessert to enjoy after a long hot day.
1 Large Fresh Pineapple, Peeled And Cored And Cut Into 8 Slices
Tablespoons Melted Butter
1/4 Cup Of Liqueur of Choice, or Maple Syrup
Vanilla Ice
Toasted Coarsely Chopped Nuts
Brush the pineapple slices with the melted butter, and grill until they are tender and golden brown, around 4 minutes on each side. During the last minute of cooking brush with the liqueur or maple syrup. Remove from the heat and cut into bite sized pieces. In individual bowls, divide the pineapple pieces, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle on the toasted nuts. You can add an additional drizzle of the liqueur or syrup over the ice cream if you choose.
