So, now that we are getting our new yard fixed up – it’s time to start thinking about using our fancy barbque grill and having some friends over for an evening of smokey food and cold beer.<\/p>\n

There are several grilled vegetable dishes that can be found on websites such as Epicurious<\/a> – some think you don’t need a recipe to grill veggies but I find that they have some wonderful sauces to marry your veg with as well as nice marinades to work with. The recipe I found is not a main course, but a wonderful dessert served right from the grill. Haven’t tried it yet, but will very soon!<\/p>\n

Grilled Pineapple with Butter-Rum Glaze and Vanilla Mascarone<\/h2>\n

Ripe pineapple, with its plentiful natural sugars, is ideal for grilling, and it screams “tropical” like nothing else. This makes a great dessert after spicy Latin, Indian, or Caribbean food. Make sure to let the slices brown; you want lots of those caramelized, almost burnt edges. Mascarpone is a smooth Italian dairy product with a texture somewhere between whipped cream and cream cheese. It’s used in tiramis\u00f9 and available in many supermarkets and gourmet stores, but if you can’t find it, good-quality vanilla ice cream will taste just fine.<\/p>\n

1 cup dark rum
\n12 tablespoons (1 1\/2 sticks) unsalted butter
\n1\/4 cup light brown sugar
\n1 vanilla bean
\n8 ounces mascarpone
\n1 ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced into 1\/4-inch-thick rounds
\n1\/2 cup fresh blueberries<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Combine the rum, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer, whisking often, until the sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, cooled, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)<\/li>\n
  2. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a sharp knife. Whisk the mascarpone and vanilla seeds together. (The mascarpone can be made a day in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated.)<\/li>\n
  3. Heat your grill to high.<\/li>\n
  4. Grill the pineapple slices, brushing frequently with the glaze, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove the pineapple to a platter or serving plates and top each slice with a dollop of vanilla mascarpone. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Makes 6 servings; can be doubled for 10 or 12 (no need to double the glaze).<\/p>\n

    This dessert seems like just the thing to take the mundane-ness out of the typical vegetarian grill out. I have been getting bored with the grilled corn and grilled peppers – this oughta make things a bit more tasty next time around.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
