GRILLED VANILLA-GINGER PINEAPPLE
Sherry Yard has a wonderful recipe in her first cookbook, "The Secrets of Baking," called Roasted Voodoo Vanilla Pineapple. She roasts her pineapple with the dried vanilla pods that you save after you've scraped out the seeds, and fresh ginger. She inserts the pods into the flesh of the pineapple, a great idea if you're roasting the pineapple for a long time. I decided to use vanilla extract instead of the pods, because during the relatively short time on the grill they infused only the section of the pineapple they had been stuck into. I add vanilla to the ginger syrup and baste the pineapple with this sweet and pungent mix. You could also simply drizzle the pineapple with honey.

Steps:
- Cut ends off pineapple. Quarter lengthwise, peel and core.
- Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill. (If you are using the grill after cooking meat or fish, allow residue to burn off and scrape away with a spatula.) Stir together vanilla extract, ginger palm sugar syrup or honey, and cayenne.
- Brush pineapple wedges lightly with butter or oil and place on grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting with the syrup, until you see grill marks and the pineapple is lightly colored. Remove to a platter or to plates and brush on remaining syrup or honey. Garnish with fresh mint, and serve warm.

Steps:
- For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
- Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
- For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Steps:
- Make crust:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour tart pan, knocking out excess flour.
- Stir together all crust ingredients in a bowl with a fork until combined well, then press mixture with your fingers and the back of a spoon evenly and firmly onto bottom and up side of tart pan.
- Bake crust until a shade darker, 8 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Make filling and grill pineapple:
- While crust cools, whisk together sour cream, brown sugar, chiles, and zest in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, then add sour cream mixture and beat until combined well. Keep covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.
- Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
- While coals are lighting, put pineapple quarters on a cutting board, long cut sides down, and cut lengthwise into slices slightly less than 1/4 inch thick with an adjustable-blade slicer or a knife (use caution; peeled pineapple is extremely slippery). Grill pineapple in 2 batches, covered only if using a gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once with tongs, until tender, about 5 minutes total. (If pineapple sticks to rack, use a metal spatula to loosen before turning.) Transfer to a platter and cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Trim pineapple and discard core from slices.
- Assemble tart:
- Spread filling in tart shell, then press raspberries into cream. Gently push up bottom of pan to loosen pan bottom (with crust) from side of pan, then carefully lift out tart and transfer to a work surface. Gently insert a thin wide metal spatula between crust and pan bottom, then run spatula under crust to loosen from pan. Using spatula, slide tart shell carefully onto a serving platter. Arrange pineapple decoratively over cream.
- Make glaze:
- Melt jelly with water in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until smooth, then brush glaze onto pineapple with pastry brush.

Steps:
- Mix the melted butter with honey and salt until well combined.
- Brush liberally over both sides of the pineapple slices.
- Place the slices on a large baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Lightly oil the grill grate.
- Set the grill to high heat.
- grill the pineapple slices about 2-3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear on the slices and the they are heated through.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a golden yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples with green skin or blemishes.
- Slice the pineapples evenly: This will help them cook evenly on the grill. Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapples into 1-inch thick slices.
- Marinate the pineapples: Marinating the pineapples in a mixture of brown sugar, lime juice, and ginger will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor on the grill.
- Grill the pineapples over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning. Cook the pineapples for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
- Serve the pineapples with ginger cream: The ginger cream is a delicious and refreshing complement to the grilled pineapples. To make the ginger cream, simply whisk together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and ground ginger.
Conclusion:
Grilled pineapple slices with ginger cream are a delicious and easy-to-make summer dessert. The pineapples are grilled to perfection and then served with a refreshing ginger cream. This dessert is perfect for a backyard barbecue or a special occasion.
