Yum! Grilled pineapple is one of my favorites too! Do you know whether omitting the ginger paste destroys this recipe? We don't usually keep that on hand.

I love meat in any form. But most of all-cooked on a smoker, tender barbecue meat. My husband and I have marked for ourselves the top places with the best meat, and recently we only go there
