The Ultimate Fruit Thread......

I'm hoping Liam will also kill the first mofo that posts a pic of some dude that's light in the loafers in this thread.

One of my favorite fruits is pineapple. I had it grilled back in the 1990's at a Brazilian bbq. I usually grill a half dozen or so a year now. I make a glaze using ginger (fresh if available), brown sugar, and some cinnamon and a little water or juice to make it into a paste. You grill the pineapple then towards the last 5-10 minutes you apply the glaze. The more layers you put on it the more flavor it will have.

you grill the whole thing? I do slices, but that seems like it would take forever.

I do both, but I couldn't find a pic of the slices. It actually cooks a lot faster than you'd think. If you're not careful the outside can blacken, so you have to do it at a low temp. You definitely get more glaze and flavor if you cut it into 1-1.5" thick round slices.

We do slices all the time with grilled chicken breasts and a spicy citrus marinade. It only takes a minute to grill the pineapple slices.
