Grilled Pineapple Sundae
Grilled fruit makes a healthy and elegant
end to any meal.
Makes 2 servings
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest
½ teaspoon orange juice
pinch kosher salt
pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 pineapple rings, ½-inch thick
½ cup vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons macadamia nuts, toasted
and roughly chopped
2 sprigs fresh mint, optional
1. In a small saucepan combine the rst 6
ingredients and set over low heat. Cook until
the butter has melted and the sauce has
small bubbles around the outside and is a
pourable consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Preheat the grill in the closed position. Brush
one side of the pineapple slices with some
of the brown sugar-butter sauce. When
the grill is preheated, place the pineapple
slices coated side down on the bottom grill
plate. Brush the tops of the pineapple with
more of the sauce and cook closed for 4 to
5 minutes, until the pineapple has softened
slightly and grill marks are visible. Brush with
more sauce during cooking if desired.
3. Remove pineapple to serving dishes. Top
each ring with vanilla ice cream, nuts and a
generous drizzle of remaining brown sugar-
butter sauce. Garnish with mint, if using, and
serve immediately.
