Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 medium pineapple, fresh and juicy, cut into spears Choose ripe pineapples for the best natural sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar Adds sweetness and helps with caramelization.
  • 1 tablespoon butter Creates a rich texture and flavor in the sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Provides a warm, fragrant spice that enhances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the pineapple by laying the spears on a pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Making the Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. If the mixture seems thick, warm it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to pour.
Grilling
  1. Brush the caramel mixture on top of the pineapple using a cooking brush.
  2. Grill the pineapple for about 7-10 minutes over medium heat, turning until the pineapple starts to turn golden brown.
  3. Brush any excess sauce from the pan back on top of the pineapple before serving.

Notes

Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience. Pairs well with ice cream or yogurt. Brush with extra sauce halfway through grilling for added flavor.
