Too sweet for my family-tasted like canned pineapple. I don't think this dessert is worthy for the energy for 30 mininutes grilling.

I was really excited to try this, but didn't have any ginger beer. I just played with the technique instead. I used the thyme as described, used Sprite for the liquid, and froze 2 trays about 24 hours. Because of the reviews and my changes, I also made a ginger-vanilla sugar (food processor using sugar, crystallized ginger and vanilla extract. Next day I buzzed up cubes enough to taste the mixture. I liked the thyme balance Then gradually added the flavored sugar to taste. Then, I put that into a container and back into the freezer. My pineapple wasn't very sweet on its own, so when I roasted it with a little brn sugar. I let the pineapple sit on the warm stove thru supper. When I served it the pineapple was warm but not hot, the ice held up, the flavors were great. Huge success. Nothing left! So, don't ignore this recipe, just play with it.

actually, the ginger beer ice doesn't hold up on the pineapple. claire robinson must have the most incredible freezer to get those cubes to freeze like that! but i got lucky and got a beautifully ripe pineapple. it roasted gorgeously! it deserved a scoop of vanilla ice cream and next time, that's what it's going to get. with a little candied ginger or freshly grated lemon zest.

The ice was a little messy and didn't hold a shape well. The pinneapple might be a little too tart with the ginger ale ice.
