Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe, firm fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into even rounds or spears about half an inch thick to help the pineapple hold together on the grill and soak up the glaze.
  2. Mix the Cinnamon Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey, ground cinnamon, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with butter or olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage perfect grill marks.
  4. Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple slices directly on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden grill marks appear and the pineapple softens slightly.
  5. Apply and Caramelize the Glaze: Brush the cinnamon honey glaze generously on one side of the pineapple, flip, glaze the other side, and grill for an additional minute per side so the glaze caramelizes and forms a sticky, flavorful coating.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the glazed pineapple from the grill and serve immediately to enjoy the burst of warm, sweet, and spiced flavors.

Notes

  • Choose a ripe pineapple with a sweet aroma for best sweetness and grill caramelization.
  • Do not skip lime juice; it balances the sweetness and brightens the glaze.
  • Grill over direct heat, not indirect, to ensure proper caramelization.
  • Brush the glaze liberally and multiple times during grilling for a thick, sticky finish.
  • Serve immediately while the glaze is warm and sticky for best flavor.
