   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  dark brown sugar
   1         tablespoon  undiluted orange juice concentrate
   3        tablespoons  dark rum
      1/4      teaspoon  cayenne pepper
   1              small  dried bird pepper -- minced, with seeds
   2                     garlic cloves -- minced
   4                     grouper fillets -- (4-ounce)

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sugar, orange juice  
concentrate, rum, peppers, and garlic. Stir and heat about 15  
minutes, until the sugar is totally melted to a syrupy consistency.  
Remove from the heat, and set aside. The glaze may be prepared in  
advance and kept refrigerated. If so, bring it to room temperature  
before using.

2. Coat the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Using a pastry  
brush, paint both sides of the fillets with the rum glaze. Grill on  
both sides over medium heat for a total of 10-15 minutes, until the  
fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Just prior to removing  
the fillets from the grill, glaze again on both sides, using any  
remaining glaze. If using the oven broiler, coat baking pan with  
nonstick cooking spray. Broil grouper 6 inches from heat on both  
sides for a total of 10-12 minutes, until fish flakes easily.

NOTES : Glazes, or "paints" as they're often called in the chef  
world, have a thick, syrupy consistency and a very concentrated  
flavor. In this recipe, dark brown sugar, hot peppers, and rum, all  
used over and over again in Caribbean cooking, contrast and  
complement each other very nicely. The glaze also gives the grouper a  
deep mahogany color. Grouper, a thick, meaty fish, holds up well to  
this strong-flavored paint job. While you could substitute swordfish  
or tuna, I wouldn't suggest using a mild-tasting, thin fish fillet  
like snapper or dolphinfish.
