After buying some really delicious “golden” pineapples and I wanted to make something special out of it. Grilling really brings out the sweetness in the pineapple, and sauce is very good and easy to make. I bet it would be good on ice cream or even made into a butter free version.

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded carrot
1 1/2 cups flour
1 pineapple, cored and cut into 1/2 in slices
1/2 dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons butter

Method:

Lightly spray a grill pan and heat until hot. Place pineapple slices on the grill and allow to cook 3-4 minutes on each side. When it is time to flip, you should see caramelized grill marks on the slice. If not, cook it a little longer. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the butter, rum and sugar to almost a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes or until it is slightly thick and can coat the back of a spoon. Whisk occasionally to insure that it doesn’t separate. Serve warm.

A crab cake is more less an American dish comprised of a crab meat patty and various other ingredients such as breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, onions, and seasonings. But in the Caribbean we use other ingredients such as red or green peppers are added, at which point the cake is then sauteed, baked, or grilled, whichever you prefer. I prefer my crab cake baked! Crab cakes are usually accompanied with a Lime Butter Sauce, which gives that Caribbean favor. Enjoy!
