Hot Hawaiian Pineapple Slices

COOK TIME
15 Min

There's something about heat that brings out the sweetness in fruit. And if we add a little extra zing, pineapple can really satisfy the biggest sweet tooth!

What You'll Need

  • 10 maraschino cherries (from a 16-ounce jar), drained, with 1 cup juice reserved
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and slices into 1/2-inch rounds

What to Do

 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cherry juice (should be about 1 cup), orange juice, and brown sugar; mix well. Add the pineapple slices, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple for 6 to 8 minutes or until slightly softened, turning halfway through the cooking.

  3. Serve the pineapple slices garnished with the cherries.

    Makes 8 to 10 slices.

Notes

This makes a great light dessert, and it's also a perfect "go-along" for poultry or pork.
