Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe pineapple
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pineapple: Trim, core, and peel the pineapple. Cut it into quarters from top to bottom to make handling easier.
  2. Slice Pineapple Quarters: Remove the core from each quarter, then cut each quarter slice into four pieces—two pieces lengthwise and two pieces crosswise—to yield approximately 12 wedges of about 3 inches by 1 inch each.
  3. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, combine honey with freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, stirring until well blended to create a sweet and tangy glaze for the pineapple.
  4. Apply Glaze: Brush the glaze onto both sides of each pineapple wedge, ensuring even coverage for maximum flavor absorption.
  5. Preheat Grill: Preheat a barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot before placing the pineapple on it.
  6. Prepare Grill Surface: Oil or spray the grill rack with non-stick cooking spray or line it with foil to prevent the pineapple from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  7. Grill Pineapple: Place the glazed pineapple wedges on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side. Turn them to get grill marks on all sides, and cook until the pineapple becomes fragrant and starts to dry slightly on the surface. Avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness.
  8. Final Glaze: Remove the pineapple from the grill and brush with any remaining glaze or drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness and shine.
  9. Serve: Serve the grilled pineapple warm as a side dish, dessert, or snack, and enjoy the burst of sweet, smoky flavors.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the pineapple to avoid a mushy texture.
  • Using fresh lemon or lime juice brightens the glaze and balances the sweetness of the honey.
  • Grilling pineapple caramelizes its sugars for enhanced flavor and creates beautiful grill marks.
  • Serve warm for the best taste experience.
