This recipe combines chunks of fresh pineapple with a sweet, spiced browned butter that’s been reduced to a golden glaze. Clove, pepper, and citrus juice work in tandem to enhance the pineapple’s sweet, fruity notes and bursts of pepper awakened my palate and provided a little heat. The skewers can be prepared in short order—the glaze is the only part of the recipe that takes a little time, as the syrup needs to reduce and thicken—and grilled up in about 6 to 10 minutes, which gave the pineapple its distinct markings, plus a little nutty flavor from the caramelization. You can easily serve it with grilled chicken or treat it as a dessert. I enjoyed the latter, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s the best!
