Grilled fruit is a wonderful light dessert that's the perfect way to end your barbecue party, and pineapple is the perfect choice. Thread pineapple sticks onto skewers and grill, drizzling homemade vanilla-lime syrup over the fruit until it caramelizes. Leftover syrup can be refrigerated for a long time. According to Alton Brown, it pairs wonderfully with almost any dish, from sweet sponge cake to roast pork tenderloin.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and place the bean and seeds in a small saucepan with the brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and let steep for 2 hours before using. Remove the vanilla bean from the pan. Once the syrup has cooled, pour it into a bottle or other container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.

Preheat grill to high heat.
Peel and core the pineapple. Cut the pineapple lengthwise into eighths and remove the brown eyes.
Thread the pineapple pieces lengthwise onto skewers. Brush the pineapple with syrup on all sides. Grill until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, for a total of 12 minutes, or until the pineapple is tender. Serve with the remaining syrup.
