Notes
- Best Pineapple for Grilling: Choose a ripe but firm pineapple—overripe fruit may become too soft on the grill.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a side with grilled meats, chop into salsa, or pair with vanilla ice cream for a summer dessert.
- Vegan Version: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Storage: Leftover grilled pineapple keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently or enjoy cold.
