Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the pineapple, remove the core, and cut it into 1-inch thick rings or wedges for grilling.
Step 2
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple softens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the honey, dark brown sugar, and lime juice to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a smooth sauce.
Step 6
Add the freshly ground black pepper, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 8
Drizzle the warm Sweet Lime Black Pepper Sauce over the grilled pineapple slices before serving.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra black pepper for a bold flavor boost or some lime zest for added brightness.
