Rum Glazed Grilled Pineapple With Lime Crème Fraîche Food

RUM SOAKED GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Combine the rum and brown sugar in a dish and whisk together until combined.
• Arrange the pineapple slices along the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish and pour the rum and brown sugar mixture over the pineapple. Let it soak for 2-6 hours, flipping the pineapple half way through to allow the rum to soak into both sides.
• Remove the pineapple from the rum mixture and pour the rum mixture into a small saucepan. To make the salted caramel sauce, bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat and cook until it is slightly thickened and reduced by about 2/3. Remove from the heat and add the cold butter and sea salt. Swirl the saucepan to gently incorporate the butter and set aside.
• Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill and cook in batches on each side for 3-5 minutes until caramelized and the grill marks show. Be prepared for a bit of smoke form the sugars if you're cooking inside.
• To serve, place the pineapple ring in a shallow bowl or plate, top with a small scoop of ice cream or 'nice cream in the centre, and drizzle with the salted caramel.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.
• Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)
• While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.

RUM BUTTERED GLAZED GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH VANILLA SCENTED MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Melt butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan. Grill pineapple on both sides until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Spoon rum glaze over grilled pineapple.
• Whisk together mascarpone and vanilla seeds. Top each slice of pineapple with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH BUTTER-RUM GLAZE AND VANILLA MASCARPONE

Steps:

• 1. Combine the rum, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer, whisking often, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, cooled, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• 2. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a sharp knife. Whisk the mascarpone and vanilla seeds together. (The mascarpone can be made a day in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated.)
• 3. Heat your grill to high.
• 4. Grill the pineapple slices, brushing frequently with the glaze, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• 5. Remove the pineapple to a platter or serving plates and top each slice with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.

GLAZED PINEAPPLE WITH CINNAMON CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice and half the lime zest with 1 tablespoon honey, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Set this sauce aside.
• Stir the powdered sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon into the creme fraiche.
• Heat the butter and remaining honey in a non-stick frying pan until melted. Add the pineapple and cook over a high heat for 8 minutes, turning regularly until caramelized.
• Pour in the spiced lime sauce and bubble for a few seconds, tossing the pineapple to glaze in the sauce.
• Place 2 wedges of pineapple on each plate, sprinkle with the remaining lime zest and accompanied by a dollop of the cinnamon creme fraiche. Serve immediately.

RUM-INFUSED GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high.
• Peel pineapple and cut crosswise into 6 slices.
• In a small bowl, mix rum and sugar.
• Place pineapple in a bowl and drizzle the rum/sugar over the slices.
• Stir well so every piece gets coated (may let stand for 3-5 minutes, to absorb flavors.).
• On a medium hot grill, place the slices for about 5-8 minutes, turning once. Remember to watch closely since the sugars can burn and become overly charred.
• Top with your favorite Ice cream and some whipped topping. (or fresh whipped cream!).
