This tasty grilled fruit recipe is the perfect dessert for your next summer BBQ. But one word of caution: Watch yourself around the grill/BBQ especially if using real rum, when rum hits the fire can flame up/outwards. Flambé is super fun but, keep safe!
Servings
Serves 4 to 8
Prep Time
10 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 pineapple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
  • 1/4 cup Diana gourmet BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rum extract
  • 1/4 cup Carnation hot chocolate powder
  • 1/4 cup So Good soy milk
  • 1 tsp Robin Hood all purpose flour
  • 10 dashes of Angustora bitters
  • Cool Whip
  • Chocolate chips or pieces of your favourite chocolate bar (to garnish)
    • Directions
  • 1.

    Combine BBQ sauce, honey, butter, sugar, rum/extract and bitters in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

  • 2.

    Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until it begins to thicken, taste to make sure it is a nice flavour. If it needs adjustment, feel free to add more of whatever you feel it needs.

  • 3.

    Turn off heat, add soy milk to help sauce cool and add flour to thicken. Stir until it is almost silky in texture.

  • 4.

    Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit more.

  • 5.

    Preheat and oil grill/BBQ (or fry pan will work somewhat as well).

  • 6.

    Use pastry brush to coat pineapple pieces with sauce and place on grill (if you have no brush, dipping the pieces and allowing to drip a little will work, too).

  • 7.

    Cook for about five minutes, turning pineapple pieces occasionally. The surface of the pineapple should be nice and brown.

  • 8.

    Remove from grill, top with dollop of Cool Whip and drizzle some more sauce on top.

  • 9.

    Garnish with chocolate, if desired.
