Best Grilled Rum Basted Pineapple With Sorbet Recipes

COCONUT SORBET WITH RUM SOAKED GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine the sugar, coconut milk, salt, vanilla bean and shredded coconut. Bring the mixture to a light simmer on medium-low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Steep the mixture for one hour.
• Place a fine mesh sieve over a clean bowl and strain the mixture removing as much liquid as possible. (See note #1 below) Press the coconut with the back of a metal spoon removing all liquid. Make sure the vanilla bean is scraped clean, then remove it and discard (See note #2 below).
• Cover and refrigerate the sorbet mixture for several hours or overnight. Process according to your ice cream maker instructions. Store in an airtight container and freeze before serving. Allow the sorbet to sit a room temperature about 15 minutes before serving.
• Combine the brown sugar and rum in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high for one minute. Stir and if the brown sugar is not yet dissolved, cook for 30 seconds.
• Pour the rum mixture over the pineapple slices and set aside. Heat the grill and brush the grates with oil. If you prefer the pineapple can be grilled inside using a panini pan. If using a non-stick pan there is no need to oil the pan. Grill over medium heat until marks form and the pineapple is heated through. Sprinkle with coconut and serve with the sorbet and drizzle with any remaining rum syrup.

EASY (& FLAMELESS!) PINEAPPLE FOSTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together rum, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then in a glass baking dish (or other container), lay out the pineapple rings and pour the rum mixture over them. Toss to coat, then let soak for at least 15 minutes, flipping the pineapple midway through.
• When you are ready to cook the pineapple, strain out the extra rum sauce from the pan of pineapple, and transfer it to a small saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, or until reduced by half. Set aside.
• While the sauce is cooking, heat a grill pan or saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray. Add pineapple slices in an even layer (you may need to do this in multiple batches) and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and grill marks appear. Transfer to a serving plates, and set aside. Repeat with remaining pineapple.
• Top each pineapple ring with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with rum sauce. (If desired, you can also lightly dust the pineapple with some extra cinnamon.) Serve immediately.

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.

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!).

• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat; see Grilling Procedure .
