Grilled Pineapple Recipe
Description
The recipe uses pineapple sliced half an inch thick and coated with a marinade made of dark honey, olive oil, fresh lime juice, and ground cinnamon. It is grilled over medium-high heat with occasional basting to develop a tender texture and golden color on both sides. The combination of honey and cinnamon adds sweetness and a mild spice that complements the natural tartness of pineapple.
Grilled pineapple can be served warm on its own or topped with ice cream for added richness. This preparation is suitable as a simple dessert, a topping for grilled meats, or a component of a fruity dish.
The marinade can be whisked together ahead of time. Ensure the grill grates are well oiled to prevent sticking. Monitor carefully to avoid overcooking which might cause the pineapple to become mushy.
