Cooking With Class
Thanks to all of the great folks who took time to join us on Saturday for our first cooking class ever. 2 hours flew by, but we were able to turn out some nice food, including pulled pork sliders with a doctorfied barbecue sauce and some Carolina slaw, a coffee rubbed grilled flank steak with grilled onion and garlic compound butter, grilled cauliflower, orange liquor macerated grilled pineapple, mixed berry "barbecue" sauce, and a cereal crusted grilled banana.
Over the next few days, I'll figure out exactly what went into the dishes and add them here. To start, below is a recipe for the pineapple. Enjoy.
Sweet and Spicy Grilled Pineapple
1 pineapple, peeled and cored, cut into long strips
1/2 cup orange liquor
1/8 cup sugar
Spice Guy Radical Rub*
1 bag frozen mixed berries
1/4 cup cherry juice, apple juice or water
In a ziplock bag add pineapple, liquor and sugar. Allow to soak for 1 hour. Remove and pat pineapple dry. Coat liberally with rub and grill over medium high heat until carmelized, approximately 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile in a pan over medium heat, add mixed frozen berries and juice. Simmer for approximately 20 minutes and brush pineapple with berry juice.
* A blend of cinnamon, sugar and a touch of chipotle powder works well too!

As those who joined us for our first ever barbecue and grilling class on Saturday learned, one of the easiest ways to really personalize your cookout is to create your own custom sauce. And while you may want to start from scratch, spend all day simmering, softening, sweeting, and so on, we prefer to take a store bought classic such as Cattlemens and "doctorfy" it.Take two bottles of your favorite sauce, add to it roughly 8 ounces of fruit jam or preserves (for our demonstration we used apricot preserves), approximately 1/4 cup cherry juice or other fruit juice and ... -

I was at the Viking demo. I tried the pineapple and the coffee rub on a piece of pork tenderloin; they turned out great. Thanks

Leave off the rub and you've got an awesome dessert - serve with vanilla ice cream! Nice work!
