This a grilled pineapple recipe which is simplicity itself, using a simple glaze of honey, lime juice and black pepper to bring out the sweetness, tartness and caramel flavors of grilled pineapple. This is a recipe, which makes a great side dish for cookouts, as well as a satisfying dessert. You can also add the grilled pineapple to fruit salads, where its unique flavor will be a welcome addition.

Grilled Pineapple

Ingredients -

1 medium sized pineapple
1 lime
2 Tbsp honey
Black pepper (and some like cayenne), to taste

Preparation:

While the grill heats up, peel and slice your pineapple, discarding the core. If you are lucky enough to be able to purchase pre-cored and peeled pineapple, you can simply slice it into thick rings.

Otherwise, it is best to leave it in 4 large pieces cut from the core after peeling - this way; you will not lose any to slipping through the grill. In a small bowl, mix honey, the juice from your lime and as much or as little black and/or cayenne pepper as you like.

Brush your pineapple pieces with this glaze and start grilling.

Grill for 3 - 4 minutes per side on a medium hot grill - do not over grill your pineapple or the texture will be mushy. Slice and serve hot.

(Serves 4)
