Method
Step 1
Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then use a peeler or small knife to cut around the fruit in a diagonal spiral, removing the lines of ‘eyes’. Cut into wedges, and slice out the core if it seems woody.Step 2
Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking, letting the flames die down to hot embers. Combine the sugar, lime leaves and chilli with 100ml water in a saucepan. Simmer for a few mins, then set half the syrup aside for serving.Step 3
Cook the pineapple wedges on the grill for about 15 mins, turning and basting regularly with remaining syrup, until golden and caramelised.Step 4
Serve the grilled pineapple wedges with the ice cream and reserved syrup.
