Category: Desserts

1/2 fresh pineapple, cut into 2 inch chunks
8 cinnamon sticks
8 mint leaves, plus sprigs for garnish

Bourbon Glaze
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Pinch of salt
1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving

Using a metal skewer, make a starter hole in the center of each piece of pineapple. Skewer 2 pineapple chunks on each cinnamon stick, with a mint leaf between them.

Glaze: Combine ingredients in a saucepan and boil until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.

Set grill for direct high heat. Clean and oil grill grate. Grill the pineapple skewers until nicely browned on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side, basting with glaze. Serve at once, spoon any excess glaze over the pineapple. Scoop the ice cream into bowl or dessert glasses. Place 2 kabobs in each, garnish with mint sprigs and serve. Serves 4
