Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then slice off the skin. Remove any remaining 'eyes' from the pineapple flesh.
Cut the pineapple into wedges or rings, about 1/2-inch thick. Remove the core from each piece if desired.
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract to form a glaze.
Use a brush to generously coat each pineapple piece with the glaze on all sides.
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple caramelizes.
Remove the pineapple from the grill and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as is, or pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delectable treat.
