Instructions

Prepare a charcoal grill with cover to medium-hot or preheat a gas grill to medium-hot.

To prepare slaw: In a medium bowl whisk mayonnaise, lime juice, jerk seasoning, jelly and salt. Add carrots and onion; toss together. Stir in pineapple and raisins; refrigerate.

To prepare patties: In a large bowl combine beef, wine, garlic, ginger, lime juice and jerk seasoning; mix together. Cover mixture and refrigerate until needed. When medium-hot heat is reached, make sauce by heating olive oil to hot in a small heat proof skillet on grill grate. Add onion; sauté to light golden, stirring often. Add garlic; sauté 20 seconds. Remove from heat; stir in chutney, jelly and wine. Return to heat; stir until sauce bubbles. Cook 1 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside near grill until needed.

Brush grill grate with canola oil. Retrieve beef mixture and sprinkle in salt. Mix gently and form mixture into 6 patties; dimple center of patties. Place on grill grate and cover. Grill 5 to 6 minutes one side. Turn patties; grill covered 5 to 6 minutes or to desired doneness. During final minutes of cooking, spoon sauce over burgers, dividing equally among burgers. Lightly toast rolls cut side down on grill grate.

To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on roll bottom and top with a burger. Stir slaw and mound over burger and close with a roll top.
