Ingredients:

  • 1 whole fresh pineapple, peeled and cored, sliced into 3/4-inch (2cm) rings
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, cayenne, and cinnamon in a small bowl until the glaze is smooth and emulsified.
  2. Slice the fresh pineapple into uniform 3/4-inch rings to ensure even cooking.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with melted butter.
  4. Place the pineapple slices directly on the grill. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side without moving them, until deep, mahogany-colored grill marks appear.
  5. Use a pastry brush to liberally coat both sides of each seared ring with the sweet and spicy glaze.
  6. Grill for an additional 1–2 minutes per side until the glaze bubbles and becomes tacky, then remove from heat immediately.
