Tucanos Pineapple

Tucanos Pineapple

The second most popular recipe

What a great way to cook pineapple and in such a simple recipe, too. Good desserts do not have to be complex cakes cookies or candies. Some are just simple fruit with a sweet glaze. The particular pineapple was peeled and cored right in front of us in the grocery store, so we knew it would have the ultimate in fresh flavor. The addition of lemon juice to the glaze adds a bright flavor.

Ingredients:

• One half pineapple, cut into long spears
• 1 TBPS butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tsp. cinnamon, in all
• lemon juice

Fire up the grill to medium heat. Before putting the pinapple down, sprinkle the spears with half of the cinnamon and a little bit of brown sugar. This will facilitate a sweetness and instant carmelization when they hit the grill.

In a small saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar and the rest of the cinnamon. Heat until bubbly and the sugar is properly melted.

Grill the pineapple spears over direct heat about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occaisionally. Each time it turns, baste with a brush of glaze. When finished, plate up and drizzle a final amount of glaze on top.

Mix with just a little warmed marinara sauce. Put on toasted bun and top with pepperjack cheese. Broil again until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Pizza

Pizza Dough

1 cup warm water

1 tbls yeast

combine these two first then add

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

2 tbls oil

then add 2.5 cups of flour and shape dough. Add sause (for this pizza I used olive oil with sautaed garlic) and cook for 8 minutes at 425 lower rack.

Then I added fresh tomato slices and basil as well as fresh motserella (the wet squishy kind) and then sprinkled with regular moterella graded on top (to hold things together. Then bake on a highest rack for 9 min.

I also made another pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni, and olives, and used spagetti sauce as the sause and it turned out good too.
