Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars in ripe pineapple, intensifying the sweetness and creating smoky depth. Here, a glaze of honey, fresh thyme, and rice vinegar adds a pleasing hit of sweet and sour contrast. If you don’t have time to slice a whole pineapple into spears, use precut chunks from the store’s produce section.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Honey

3 Tbsp

Unseasoned rice vinegar

2 tsp, unseasoned

Fresh thyme

2 tsp

Pineapple

1 medium, (about 1 lb)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the honey, vinegar and thyme.
  2. With a sharp chef’s knife, slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Cut away the peel. Slice the pineapple in half, then cut each half lengthwise into 6 equal slices. Cut away the tough core from each piece. Thread each piece of pineapple onto a skewer.
  3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill the pineapple until warmed through and grill marks appear, about 6 minutes, turning once and basting several times with the glaze.
  4. Serving size: 2 skewers
