Grilled pineapple with honey citrus

Ok, I admit it, this recipe came from our new Weber grill cookbook. We tried it and LOVED it. It's a perfect end to a perfectly grilled dinner.



"Grilled Paradise" (The Weber Gas Grill Cookbook, 2007)

Glaze:
3/4 cup fresh orange juice (we used regular OJ)
1 TB honey
1 tsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
4-6 slices of fresh pineapple

Optional - garnish with vanilla ice cream & mint

To make the glaze: In a small sauce pan combine the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Keep the glaze warm or reheat when ready to serve.

Season both sides of sliced pineapple with cracked pepper. Grill over indirect medium heat until well marked, 6-8 minutes, turning once.

Serve each pineapple slice with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle glaze over top.

Quick review: Inn on Pamlico Sound

This was one of the best dinners we had in long time. We both ordered the duck on our first night at the Inn on Pamlico Sound on our 5th anniversary trip to the Outer Banks. It's one of the few fine dining establishments between Avon and Hatteras. They have a private chef on site who offers daily catch specials as well as organic veggies, beef and chicken. We hope to return soon.
