Grill or Bake!

Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pineapple
1 Pineapple
1 c brown sugar (or mix tsp of molasses into regular sugar)
2 tbs cinnamon
Cloves (optional)

Sesame Ginger Chicken
Marinate in Simply Organic Garlic n'Herb (sesame seeds,garlic, black pepper,lemon peel,onion,parsley,citric acid)&Maple Grove Farms of Vermont's Sesame Ginger Dressing (soy sauce,toasted sesame oil,pineapple juice,ginger,garlic,&lemon juice)Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20mins.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Peppered Brown Sugar Glaze
Ingredients:
Asparagus
Bacon
1c brown sugar (or mix .5tsp molasses into regular sugar)
1 tbs Sesame Ginger Dressing (as above)
1tsp ground black pepper (I use a bit less)
1 tsp Garlic n' Herb spices (as above, or Garlic Salt)
1 stick butter

Wrap every 3 asparagus spears with 1 piece of bacon. You can play with this ratio if you'd prefer more bacon to asparagus or to fit your ingredient needs.

Next, mix the brown sugar, Ginger Sesame Dressing, 1 stick of butter, pepper, & Garlic n' Herb spices (or Garlic Salt) stovetop at medium heat until it has a molten consistency. Place the wrapped asparagus on a pan (spray with cooking spray) and drizzle the glaze on with a spoon.

Avoid getting too much glaze on the tips of asparagus. If there's too much glaze on the tips, they will stick. The recipe called for grilling, but you can also bake in the oven at 400 degrees until done to your liking. I left mine for about 15-20 minutes.

Pomegranate Relish
1 tsp of the pineapple marinate that is leftover in the container from the above recipe (or pineapple or citrus juice)
1 tsp fresh-squeezed mandarin orange juice
1 pomegranate, seeded
2 green onions, chopped
Mix the above ingredients and use to top off your Sesame Ginger Chicken.
