Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pineapple
1 cup apricot jelly
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat.
  • Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise from the very top to the bottom (keeping the leaves on). Then cut each half lengthwise in half again, so you have 4 long pieces with leaves at one end.
  • Add the jelly, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is fully combined and liquid.
  • Brush the pineapple with some of the mixture (reserve the remaining mixture), transfer to the grill and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and, using a sharp knife, cut the bottom ends off each piece of pineapple. Then, carefully cut lengthwise from the bottom to the top of each piece along the skin (separating the fruit from the skin), and then crosswise into 1-inch pieces.
  • Drizzle the remaining apricot mixture over the pineapple. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 small pineapple, peeled, cored and quartered
Canola oil
Salt and pepper
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers (depending on how spicy you like it), seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup dark rum
4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons dark brown muscovado sugar
1 habanero chile, halved
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
Green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For Grilled Pineapple-Jalapeno Sauce:
  • Heat grill to high.
  • Brush pineapple with a few tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides. Remove pineapple from the grill, coarsely chop and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the jalapeno, vinegar, coconut milk, cilantro, and few tablespoons of oil and honey, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • For Rum-Molasses Glaze:
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the rum and cook until reduced by half. Add the stock, molasses, sugar, habanero, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook until reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Strain the mixture into a bowl then return it to the saucepan and continue cooking until reduced by half and thickened to a glaze. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • For Tenderloin:
  • Heat grill to high.
  • Brush the tenderloin with 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until crusty and charred on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, brushing with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and brush with more of the glaze. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting into 1/2-inch thick slices. Spoon some of the sauce onto each plate, top with a few slices of pork, and drizzle with a little more of the sauce. Garnish with green onions and cilantro leaves.
