Roasted Jalapeño and Pineapple Glaze

Utensils/Equipment needed:

  • Juice Extractor
  • Whisk
  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Basting Brush

Ingredients:

  • 1 Jalepeno, Roasted, Peeled and Seeded (if desired for less heat)
  • 1 Fresh Pineapple Peeled, all pips removed to obtain ½ cup of Juice and ½ cup puree
  • ¾ cup Dark Brown Sugar (packed)

Method of Preparation:

  1. Roast jalapeño over an open flame to blister skin. (If dealing with electric stove roast in 350 degree oven slightly oiled until skin blisters and shows some browning) Place in tightly covered container to steam for 10 minutes so skin is easily removed. Peel under gently running cold water to remove blistered and blackened skin. Remove stem and seeds, reserve for later use. For more heat leave seeds in pepper and only remove the stem.
  2. Peel the pineapple and remove the core making sure that all pips are removed from the fruit. In a juice extractor add enough flesh to extract ½ cup of juice and reserve. In a food processor, add enough flesh to produce ½ cup of pineapple puree.
  3. Once this is achieved add the jalapeño to the food processor and gently pulse the combined ingredients until all of the pepper is chopped but still visible.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk together until brown sugar is dissolved and smooth.
