Grilling fresh pineapple

[intrepid27]

Got some ribeyes and sweet corn for the grill tonight.

Picked up a fresh pinapple and wanted to try it on the grill (first time). Any tips, or suggestions? Is sticking to the grill an issue or does it release as it cooks like meat?

Goes great with grilled Snickers bars
I imagine it would need to be inside something like foil. I bet it would be good to use Pineapple to infuse something else.

seems early for good sweet corn...

I've never had a problem with it sticking to the grill. You might want to toss the pineapple with brown sugar before you throw it on the grill. The sugar caramelizes after a couple minutes on each side and adds a nice dimension.

If you need to grill a pineapple, you can always use the tried and true techniques. Put it in a dark room across a table from you with a solitary light over it. Maybe bring in a buddy and use the good cop/bad cop scheme. Also, sleep deprivation will sometime get the pineapple perp to break down and confess.

Picked it up from Fareway this AM. Normally don't buy from supermarket but it looks very fresh. We will see.

Slice it into 1/4" thick segments and marinate it.

I'm not near my recipe box, but think I use something like:

• 1 c rum
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 1 TSP ginger
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp nutmeg

It is unbelieviably good. And to the OP it doesn't stick at all. Very easy to work with.

Wait, you have a recipe box? Don't tell clones85.

Does sound pretty good though

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Do you cut the skin and the middle out, or leave it on?

 

[Pitt_Clone]

I friend of mine has a recipe that uses chili powder. When he said that I didn't think that sounded good at all but it turned out to be delicious. Don't know the exact recipe.

Skin it and core it.

 

[Cybyassociation]

I think it'd be alright by itself grilled or maybe with a pinch of salt and garlic, throw some cilantro on post grill

My niece is a master cooker on the green egg...I think she has two or three, however, I cook this on my gas grill too. The following is her recipe...season as needed on the following as that is what cooking is all about. This is a huge party favorite at my home and great for appetizers for gatherings. If any leftovers, they are terrific on homemade Canadian and pineapple pizzas made on the grill or oven too.


Drunken Pineapple

1 whole pineapple
2 T sea salt
1 cup dark rum
¼ cup brown sugar
2 T to taste.. Pineapple head seasoning (Dizzy Pig BBQ Home. The freshest award winning all natural BBQ Rubs.)

Peel the pineapple and cut out the eyes...leave pineapple whole.
Rub it down with sea salt, then pineapple head seasoning, then brown sugar.
Mix some dark rum with the brown sugar and pineapple head and nuke it till warm and mixes well. When sugar is dissolved, it’s good.
Inject solution into the pineapple. Baste with remaining solution as you turn.
Grill over direct heat (350-400 degrees) turning as the outside gets caramelized.
When all sides are caramelized move to indirect heat and cook until you think you can‘t live without it another minute, because that is when it is done. Cut the meat from the core then in smaller appetizer size pieces.

Enjoy!
