Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
1 large lemon, zested
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons dark rum
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pineapple, skinned and cut into 3/4-inch thick slices, or 8 canned pineapple slices in pineapple juice, drained
3 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise, then halved crosswise
6 to 10 red or green grapes, halved
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • For the cream: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream until thick. Add the sugar and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Beat in the yogurt, rum, and vanilla.
  • For the fruit: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Sprinkle each side of the pineapple slices with brown sugar. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas and grapes with brown sugar. Grill the pineapple until grill-marked and golden, 4 to 5 minutes each side. Grill the bananas and grapes until lightly browned and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
  • Place the grilled pineapple on 4 plates. Top with 3 banana slices and 3 grapes. Drizzle with honey glaze and spoon a dollop of the cream on top. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h14m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup honey
Juice of 2 limes (depending on how juicy the limes are)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 pineapple, cut into 3/4-inch thick rings, core removed
3/4 cup vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • In a baking dish, mix together the honey, lime juice, and cinnamon. Place the pineapple slices in the glaze and let marinate 2 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Grill on both sides until the glaze caramelizes and grill marks form, about 2 minutes per side.
  • To serve: Place the pineapple slices on individual plates and top with a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle the remaining honey syrup over the top.

Tips:

- To select ripe pineapples, pick ones that have a golden yellow color and feel heavy for their size. Avoid pineapples with green or dull yellow skin, as they may be unripe. - Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and no blemishes. Avoid bananas with green or brown skin, as they may be underripe or overripe, respectively. - To make the lemonade glaze, use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. You can also adjust the amount of sugar in the glaze to your preference. - When grilling the pineapple and bananas, make sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking to the grates. - Brush the pineapple and bananas with the lemonade glaze frequently while grilling. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from burning. - Serve the grilled pineapple and bananas immediately after grilling, while they are still warm. You can top them with additional lemonade glaze, whipped cream, or ice cream, if desired.

Conclusion:

The grilled pineapple and bananas with lemonade glaze recipe is a delicious and refreshing summer treat. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
