Did you know you don't have to go to the islands to get a good Piña Colada?
Grilled Pina Colada Pineapple
Here's an awesome way to have pineapple, Grilled Pina Colada Pineapple. This easy recipe is a simple way to enjoy fresh pineapple. It tastes just like the delicious drink. I love to make it for dessert.
It makes me feel like I am in Costa Rica at one of the Tikka restaurants. A-MAZ-ING! The recipe comes from 100 Grilling Recipes You Can't Live Without (affiliate link) by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. Don enjoys this cookbook. He's our grillmaster.
This grilled pineapple makes a good dessert or side dish. The only problem is the waiting. You have to marinate it for an hour or more to let the flavors seep into the pineapple.
What You Need
Obviously, you'll need a grill. We prefer a nice gas grill (affiliate link), but charcoal will work, too. And you need knives, measuring cups and measuring spoons. But what about some nice Fiesta dishes? Remember, your tools should last a lifetime so buy the best you can afford.
