     Difficulty: Hard 

INGREDIENTS:

Open grates

• 1 small pineapple, cut into rings or long spears
• 8 slices pound cake

Cast iron griddle

• 4 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

For serving

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• Honey, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the grill so the open grates are medium-high and the cast iron griddle is medium.
2. On the griddle, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, then add the pecans. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until glossy and lightly toasted. Move to a cooler edge if needed.
3. Place the pineapple on the open grates and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly charred.
4. Grill the pound cake on the open grates for about 30 to 60 seconds per side, just until toasted with clear grill marks.
5. Plate the toasted pound cake, top with grilled pineapple, then spoon over the brown sugar pecan butter from the griddle.
6. Add vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Finish with a light drizzle of honey if you want it sweeter.
