EASY PINEAPPLE/PROSCIUTTO/MOZZARELLA APPETIZER
« Reply #-1 on: August 26, 2012, 10:07:09 PM »
These are fast to make - and easy!

Items needed:

1- pineapple ( cored or cubed if available)
1 or 2  approx. 3 oz packages of pre-sliced (paper thin) prosciutto
1 lb. of  fresh mozzarella "cherry" sized balls ( often found in herbed olive oil on a salad bar or deli case).
1 box of tooth-picks
You will also need Frogmats, or a fine wire grate to keep these on top of the grates. ;)

Use only fresh pineapple. The canned stuff will fall apart  - and does not have the same flavor.

Cut pineapple into cubes, or buy fresh cubed at the grocery. Cut 1/2 length strips of prosciutto, and you can either wrap this around the  pineapple cubes - *or* simply roll up a piece, and hold on top of the pineapple, while you poke a tooth-pick thru the center of a mozzarella ball. Then - push the tooth-pick down thru the prosciutto, and the pineapple - to hold them all together.
*NOTE* - the pictures show a horizontal wrap....Don't bother with this method. It takes 2 toothpicks, and yields no better results)

Place these on the cool side of the grill  - or smoker - over indirect heat at 200-250F for approx 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is "drooping" down over the prosciutto and pineapple. Best served warm.....






You can garnish with a little red pepper flake, or an Italian blend of herbs to your liking.....
Photobucket is not allowing me to re-size pics right now...sorry.... :-[
Will be making these at the Fall Gathering..... ;D

I have made these before but for some reason they never made it to the grill or the smoker!!

Thanks folks!  (Wish I could get the re-sizer to work on Photobucket...Not sure if it is another  Mac - vs - Photobucket issue or or what....)

These apps are best when the cheese picks up some color/flavor from the smoke. And - the sweet/salty/savory/spicy combo is what does it for me!

Sounds like a Job for the AMZNPS to give it some color and flavor
