Grilled Pineapple Recipes

Recipe 1

Ingredients

1 large Ripe Pineapple
3 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Lemon or Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

First of all, you have to trim the pineapple, peel it and then core it. Now, cut it into quarters, from top to bottom.
Now, you have to take out the core from each quarter and then slice it into four pieces (two pieces lengthwise and two crosswise).
By this time, you will have 12 wedges of pineapple with you, each of them about 3-inch by 1-inch.
Get a small bowl and put honey, lemon or lime juice, and black pepper in it. Mix well, making the glaze.
Take each slice of pineapple and brush the glaze onto it, making sure to coat it completely.
Preheat barbecue grill and oil the grill rack. You can also spray the grill rack with non-stick cooking spray, as an alternative.
Place pineapple wedges on the grill and cook both the sides, for approximately 4 minutes each, while making sure to turn them regularly.
As soon as the pineapple becomes fragrant and starts to dry out on the surface, stop the cooking.
Finally, remove the pineapple from the grill and brush with the glaze one more time. Serve immediately!
