Grilled pinapple

large ripe pineapple
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Trim, core, and peel pineapple. Cut into quarters from top to bottom. Slice out the core from each quarter. Cut each quarter slice into four pieces (two pieces lengthwise and two crosswise). You should now have 12 wedges of pineapple (about 3-inch by 1-inch each).

In a small bowl, combine honey, lemon or lime juice, and black pepper. Brush the glaze onto each slice of pineapple, coating completely.

Preheat barbecue grill. Either oil or spray the grill rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place pineapple wedges on the grill and cook approximately 4 minutes on each side (turning so that grill marks are on all sides) until the pineapple becomes fragrant and starts to dry out on the surface. NOTE: Don't overcook, or they'll turn mushy.

Remove from the grill and brush with any additional glaze one more time. Serve and enjoy!

Makes 6 servings.

Double Pistachio Cake

1 Box White Cake Mix
½ Cup Milk
½ Cup Water
5 eggs
2 Boxes Pistachio Instant Pudding
½ Cup Cooking Oil
½ Cup Chopped Pecans

Mix all of ingredients together and cook in layers at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting
1 Box Pistachio Instant Pudding
1 Reg. Container of Cool Whip
½ Pint of Whipping Crème

Mix quickly and frost cake (sprinkle the top with chopped pecans, if you wish). ***Note from Dick Daniels: I added green food coloring to the icing to make it greener. Keep refrigerated. This would be a cool recipe for St. Patrick's Day because the cake is green all the way through...It is also a good cold recipe for summertime.
