Best Maple Marinated Pineapple Skewers Recipes

SUNNY'S QUICK BEEF AND PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Add the honey, orange juice, olive oil, salt, red curry seasoning and black pepper to a medium bowl. Whisk until the honey and oil are dispersed. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade, then divide the remaining marinade in half between two resealable plastic bags. Add the beef chunks to one bag and the pineapple to the other bag. Seal both bags and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the beef and pineapple are marinating.
• Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Remove or strain the beef and pineapple chunks from the bags and discard the marinade. Pat everything dry. Build the skewers by alternating between the beef and pineapple, placing 3 to 4 pieces of each on each skewer. Place them over the direct heat of the grill and cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes. Brush the skewers with the reserved marinade. Remove from the grill and serve with yellow rice, if using.

VANILLA LIME PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Split open the vanilla pod and scrape out the pulp, and add the pod and the pulp to a small saucepan along with the brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Whisk together and place the mixture over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 2 hours before using. Remove the vanilla pod. Once cool, place the syrup in a squeeze bottle or other sealable container. Store in the refrigerator.
• Preheat grill on high.
• Peel and remove the core from the pineapple. Cut the pineapple into eighths, lengthwise, and remove any prickly brown eyes.
• Thread the pieces of pineapple onto the skewers lengthwise. Coat the skewered pineapple on all sides with the syrup. Grill on all sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side, 12 minutes total, or until the pineapple is tender. Serve with any remaining sauce.

PINEAPPLE PORK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, mango, and chipotle pepper in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, then puree until smooth. Scrape the sauce into a bowl and add the pork, tossing to coat.
• Thread 6 wooden skewers with alternating pieces of pineapple and pork.
• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Drizzle the skewers with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skewers, rotating as needed and basting with any leftover mango sauce as you rotate, until the pork is cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
