Pineapple: The main ingredient turned into something spectacular.

Brown Sugar: Sweeten the sauce with brown sugar.

Butter: Melting the butter will help spread the glaze evenly.

Cinnamon: Adds a little sweetness with a hint of spice. Sprinkle some cinnamon overtop of the spears as well as adding it to the glaze.

The sauce is incredible. It is a buttery brown sugar cinnamon glaze. When the pineapple cooks on the grill, the sauce caramelises and becomes absolutely incredible on top of these! The pineapple stays juicy and grills to perfection. You will be amazed with your first bite!

1. Making the caramelised glaze:

Lay the pineapple spears on a pan. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Whisk together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. (If it seems thick, you may put it in the microwave for a few seconds so that it can easily pour on top of the pineapple.) Or you may add one by one to the spears.

2. With a brush:

Spread on top of the pineapple.

3. Grilling pineapple:

Grill for about 7-10 minutes or until it is starting to turn golden brown.

Things to Note Down

Spray or wipe the grill before oil or use a grill pan to cook the pineapple on the grill.

Make cinnamon to fine powder, so that it sticks to the pineapple spears.

You could use skewers inserted into the spears before placing them in pan.

Variations of Glaze

It is always fun to try new things and with pineapple it makes it even more delicious. Try these amazing flavors that also compliment the grilled pineapple.

Honey: Substitute the brown sugar for honey for a sweeter glaze or even half brown sugar and half honey.

Spicy: Add a little spice with chili powder or cayenne pepper in the glaze.

Coconut and Fruit Juice: This is a citrus favorite. Use lime, orange or lemon juice to infuse the pineapple with a bold citrusy flavor.

What to Serve With Grilled Pineapple

Appetiser: Add some extra flavor to this pineapple cheese ball

Salad: This grilled mango and pineapple salad is perfect for adding in grilled pineapple.

Burger or Sandwich: Most burgers or sandwiches taste better with a citrus pineapple slice that is grilled up.

Stir Fry: Cook some rice and vegetables and add in grilled pineapple chunks for more sweet and citrusy texture and taste.
