Grilled Pineapple with Honey

  • Unique flavor profile with the combination of caramelization and honey.
  • Quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings.
  • Low in fat and high in flavor, making it a healthier dessert option.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

How to Make

Start by preheating your grill to medium heat. While it’s heating, in a bowl, mix the honey and lemon juice until well combined. If you’re a fan of spices, you can add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor. Once the grill is hot, place the pineapple rings on the grill. Brush each ring with the honey mixture generously. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the pineapple has nice grill marks and is caramelized. Remove from the grill and drizzle any remaining honey mixture over the top before serving.

Tips

  • For an added flavor twist, try marinating the pineapple rings in rum for a tropical flair.
  • Experiment with different flavored honeys, like lavender or ginger honey, for a unique taste.

Make-Ahead

This grilled pineapple can be prepared in advance. Just grill the pineapple rings, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

Storing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about 3 days.

Freezing

While fresh pineapple can be frozen, grilled pineapple may lose some of its texture. If you need to freeze it, ensure it’s in a sealed container and consume it within 2 months for optimal flavor.

Reheating

To reheat, simply warm them on a grill or a frying pan over low heat for a minute or two, just until heated through.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your grilled pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a delightful dessert. It also pairs beautifully with grilled meats or as a topping for salads.
