Grilled Pineapple With Tequila-Brown Sugar Glaze
"I have used dark rum instead of the Tequila with equally good results. I also microwave the pineapple for 2 minutes, then marinade it in the glaze. This is great with vanilla ice cream over the top! Prep time includes marinating.
Adapted from Bon Appetit magazine, July 1997."

Wish I could give this 10 stars!!! This pineapple was sooooo delicious. The glaze goes perfectly with the pineapple. ( I used dark rum because that is what I had on hand.) Great recipe Scoutie, thanks so much for sharing.

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
