Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Lime juice
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the pineapple: trim off the top and bottom, peel the skin, and remove the eyes. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rings or wedges, removing the core if desired.
In a small bowl, mix the honey with the vanilla extract and lime juice. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.
Add the pineapple slices to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your pan). Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side or until golden brown.
Flip the slices and drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the pineapple. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the top.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting the pineapple with the honey mixture in the skillet, until the pineapple is caramelized and infused with the honey flavor.
Remove the pineapple from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve warm on its own or with a side of vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
