Description

Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon Honey is a simple, tropical dessert that combines the smoky sweetness of charred pineapple spears with a fragrant cinnamon-infused honey drizzle. Perfect for a summer barbecue or a light, refreshing treat, this recipe highlights caramelized grill marks and a warm, spiced glaze to elevate fresh pineapple into a flavorful indulgence.

Ingredients

Grilled Pineapple

  • 1 whole medium-sized pineapple, ripe with firm skin and sweet aroma, sliced into spears

Cinnamon Honey Glaze

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) raw or organic honey
  • 1 teaspoon (2.6 g) ground cinnamon, finely ground and fragrant

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium heat to prepare it for the pineapple spears. This ensures proper caramelization and those desirable grill marks that enhance the pineapple’s natural tropical sweetness.
  2. Prepare Grill Grates: Lightly spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the pineapple from sticking, which helps in easier flipping and maintaining the spears’ shape during cooking.
  3. Grill Pineapple: Place the pineapple spears on the grill and cook for 3 minutes per side. The pineapple is ready when grill marks appear and the fruit feels warm and slightly tender, offering a rich, sweet flavor with a lightly smoky note.
  4. Make Cinnamon Honey Glaze: While grilling, soften the honey by microwaving it for about 30 seconds to achieve a liquid consistency. Stir in the ground cinnamon thoroughly until smooth and fully combined to create a fragrant glaze.
  5. Serve: Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and generously drizzle the cinnamon honey glaze over the warm spears. The glaze complements the caramelized edges of the pineapple for a balanced sweet and spicy finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the pineapple is ripe but firm to hold shape while grilling.
  • Use raw or organic honey for a more natural flavor and better consistency when microwaving.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a spicier or milder glaze.
  • If you don’t have a grill, this recipe can be adapted by using a grill pan on the stovetop.
  • Serve immediately for best flavor, as grilled pineapple is best enjoyed warm.
