The burger will be grilled inside the cookie cutters on the grill giving it a heart shape. Brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and grill until browned on the bottoms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the patties and continue grilling until done to preference, about 5 minutes longer for medium. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the tops of the wheat rolls with oil and carefully place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly. To assemble the burgers,remove burger from cookie cutter, place a generous amount of the orange ginger spread over the cut sides of the bun.
