Smoky-sweet grilled pineapple gives this All-American dessert a tropical treat. Recipe is from Ladies Home Journal. For a more-adult version, substitute 2 T rum for the extract. Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) jar caramel sauce |
1/2 teaspoon rum extract |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 pinch nutmeg |
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 (4 lb) fresh pineapple (peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch thick rounds) |
2 pints vanilla ice cream |
1/2 lb peanut brittle (or macadamia-nut brittle, broken into small pieces) |
Directions:
1. In medium bowl, combine caramel sauce, extract, cinnamon and nutmeg; cover and set aside.
2. Heat grill to medium high.
3. In a large bowl, sprinkle sugar over pineapple, let stand 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
4. Grill pineapple (reserve bowl with juices), turning once, until grill marked and heated through, about 8 minutes.
5. Cut each round into 8 triangles, add to reserved bowl with juices and toss to coat.
6. Serve warm or chilled over ice cream with rum-caramel sauce and brittle.
