Maple Bourbon Pineapple

Three whole pineapples on a spit being basted in the glaze.

The maple bourbon combination is used to baste the pineapple throughout the cooking process. The sweet flavors combine with the pineapple to make it riched and have more depth.

Once cooked the pineapple can be eaten as a dessert or as a component of a more savory dish such as in salsas, on pizza, or as part of a salad. It is pretty sweet so if eating it alone pairing it with a more neutral cream or mascarpone is recommended.

Although the images show the pineapple being cooked on a spit, it can also be cooked in a smoker, camp oven, or over a grill. The heating and basting process remains the same and creates the same rich flavors.
