RECIPE - Rotisserie Pineapple

If you have a charcoal or gas rotisserie, try this absolutely wonderful and extremely simple Brazilian dessert. It's a perfect use of the heat remaining on the grill once you've removed your main course. While you are eating your steaks, or chicken, or fish, your dessert cooks in about 20-30 minutes.






ROTISSERIE PINEAPPLE

1 large, ripe pineapple, skin and "eyes" removed
sugar and powdered cinnamon to taste
coarse salt to taste (optional)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine sugar and cinnamon to taste and spread the mixture on a cookie sheet. Skewer the pineapple on a rotisserie skewer, and secure well to assure that the pineapple will rotate with the skewer. Roll the pineapple in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat the fruit.

Place the pineapple over medium hot charcoal, or medium heat propane or gas grill, approximately 12 inches from the source of heat. Set the rotisserie to rotate, and cook the pineapple for 20 to 30 minutes, until the sugar-cinnamon coating has carmelized, and the fruit is hot and juicy.

Remove from heat, and release the fruit from the skewer. Cut into thick slices and serve while still hot. A ball of vanilla ice cream can be added to each slice if desired.
