One of my favorite things to do with fresh pineapple is to grill it.

Just brush it with a little melted butter and throw it on the grill. When it starts to caramelize on one side, flip it.

Lay it in the center of a plate and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you really want to gild the lily, add a little warm caramel or dulce de leche over the top.

I love to skewer pineapple chunks with shrimp, onion, and peppers. Season them with salt and pepper, and grill them!

I also had a dish last year that was made with sweet potato, coconut, pineapple, and marshmallows. It was good. I'd love to find a recipe for it.

We put pineapple on macaroni chicken salad and some calderetas (pork caldereta, chicken caldereta) recipes.

I make a sweet and sour chicken stir-fry,

1 lb. chicken cut into bite size pieces
1 1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
1 can 10 1/2 oz. low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups white rice (prepare to to pkg. directions)
1/2 cup sweet'n sour sauce (la-choy)
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen stir-fry veggies
Add oil to wok, add chicken pieces, about 5 min. or until cooked. add veggies and pineapple juice. stir in chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of soy-sauce mix well, bring to boil.

after rice is cooked stir in sweet'n sour sauce. Makes 4 servings (cook time 15 min.) You can also use pork instead of chicken. Cookie

I have a recipe around here somewheres for a Huli Huli Pineapple. Its basically an entire pineapple that is peeled. Yuo can cut the eyes out by cutting a groove the depth of the eyes from the top to the bottom of the pineapple. With some work, press a Rotiserie skewer through the core. Put this set up on the grill and as it spins glaze the pineapple with a rum caramel sauce to build up a nice glaze. keep the heat low so not to burn the glaze.
This is my favorite use for pineapple .
For the glaze you can cheat by using caramel sauce that you would use for an ice cream topping. Heat about a cup of it over low heat and stir in about 1/4 cup of rum.

A unique and different dish that's fantastic served alongside smoked ham!

Scalloped Pineapple Casserole

Drain pineapple, reserving 3 tablespoons of juice. Arrange pineapple on bottom of greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Stir together the flour and sugar, sprinkle over pineapple. Drizzle reserved pineapple juice over the top with the Cheddar cheese. Mix together the crushed crackers and melted butter; spread over the cheese. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
