Canyon Ranch Grilled Golden Pineapple With Caramel Sauce Food

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CARAMEL DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In small saucepan, place unwrapped caramels, half-and-half and rum flavoring. Heat over low to medium-low heat, stirring, until sauce is thick and smooth. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill to medium hot. Grill pineapple slices about 6 minutes on each side until pineapple softens and turns slightly more yellow in color. Turn; grill other side.
• Place grilled pineapple slices on cutting board. Cut each slice into bite-size pieces. Discard core pieces.
• Arrange pineapple equally on 4 dessert plates; drizzle caramel sauce over pineapple, or dip pineapple chunks into caramel sauce.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH POUND CAKE AND RUM-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, add the brown sugar and rum and cook, whisking until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream and cook until heated through and slightly thickened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, keep warm.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the pineapple on both sides with the oil and place on the grill. Grill until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from the grill, stack the slices and cut into chunks. While the pineapple is grilling, place the pound cake on the grill until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 20 seconds on each side. Remove the pineapple from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, either slice or cut into chunks.
• Top each piece of pound cake with some of the pineapple and drizzle with the caramel-rum sauce. Top with more pound cake, vanilla ice cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.

CANYON RANCH GRILLED PORTOBELLO SANDWICH WITH ROASTED PEPPERS

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Brush mushroom caps with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Spread 3 tbsp blue cheese mixture on the top of a multigrain bun. On the bottom of each bun, place 1 arugula leaf, 1 mushroom cap and 4 slices each of onion and roasted red pepper.

CARAMEL GRILLED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice pineapple into 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick rings. If your pineapple is already cored and sliced in a way that makes it impossible to cut into rings, just cut into big wedges. Pieces that are cut too small make it difficult to grill without losing pieces in the grill, as the pineapple will soften somewhat.
• Grill on a lightly oiled BBQ grill grate over medium to high heat, turning once, until the pineapple has nice grill marks, is warm, and slightly softened. Time will vary depending on your grill, but your eyes and your nose will tell you when it's ready!
• Warm caramel ice cream topping in microwave according to package directions.
• Assemble sundaes by placing a portion of pineapple in the bottom of each bowl. Top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, end drizzle a large spoonful of warm caramel topping over the top, and serve immediately.
• Enjoy the compliments from your guests.
• Grin as they ooooh and aahhhh over what a genius you are! :).
