Preparation

Step 1

Instructions Preparing Pineapple:
With a sharp knife, cut off the top of the pineapple.
Holding pineapple upright, with a serrated knife, carefully slice off the skin. Remove any “eyes” that remain.
Slice pineapple in half, vertically. Slice each piece again, vertically. (You should now have 4 quarters.)
Remove core from each quarter. Cut each quarter horizontally into approximately 1 1/2-inch thick slices. Orange-Honey Glaze:
In a small bowl, stir together honey, orange juice and cinnamon. Grilling Pineapple:
Preheat grill to medium setting; lightly oil to prevent sticking.
Place pineapple slices on grill; lightly brush with Orange-Honey Glaze.
Grill pineapple slices for about 4 minutes on each side, or until light grill marks appear. Watch carefully, making sure not to burn.
Arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle warm pineapple slices with any remaining glaze. Serve immediately.
