Ingredients

• 1 whole, medium-sized fresh pineapple
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 fresh, for garnish mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the honey and the juice of one lime. Mix well until fully blended.

Step 2

Prepare the pineapple by removing the crown and base. Stand it upright and cut away the rind by slicing downward along the curvature of the fruit. Once peeled, cut the pineapple into half-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Using a small, sharp knife, remove the core from each slice to create a ring.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C).

Step 5

Lightly brush each side of the pineapple rings with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is warm and juicy.

Step 7

During the last minute of grilling, brush the top of each slice with the honey-lime glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Remove the pineapple from the grill and let cool for a minute.

Step 9

Arrange the grilled pineapple rings on a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining honey-lime glaze over them.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
