Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Begin by removing the top and bottom of the pineapple.
2. Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice off the outer skin, making sure to remove the "eyes" (the small brown spots).
3. Slice into 1/2-inch-thick pieces and remove the core from each piece.
1. In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup honey and 1 tsp cinnamon.
2. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the cinnamon is fully incorporated into the honey.
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become medium-hot and covered with white ash.
1. Brush each pineapple slice generously with the cinnamon honey glaze on all sides.
2. Place the pineapple slices directly on the grill grates.
3. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is heated through. The natural sugars in the pineapple will caramelize, creating a nice char and enhancing the sweetness.
1. Remove the pineapple slices from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
2. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the grilled pineapple slices before serving.
- Serve the grilled pineapple warm as a delightful dessert or side dish. It pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or can be enjoyed on its own.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will have a slight give when pressed and a sweet aroma at the base.
- Cut the pineapple into uniform slices or wedges to ensure even grilling.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- For an added touch, serve the grilled pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and honey to your taste. Add more cinnamon for a spicier kick or more honey for extra sweetness.
Grilled pineapple with cinnamon honey glaze is an easy yet impressive dish that perfectly balances the sweetness of pineapple with the rich, warm flavors of cinnamon and honey. Whether served on its own, alongside other grilled fruits, or as a topping for desserts, this recipe is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the delicious taste and beautiful presentation of this delightful treat!
