I just love grilled pineapple! Grilling does wonderful things to fruit as it caramelizes the sugars creating a golden brown color and intensity of flavor. This very simple and elegant dessert is the perfect ending to a heavy barbecue. The pepper brings out the "grilled" flavor and adds some spiciness.

Grilled Pineapple

1 large ripe pineapple
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Trim, core, and peel pineapple. Cut into quarters from top to bottom. Slice out the core from each quarter. Cut each quarter slice into four pieces (two pieces lengthwise and two crosswise). You should now have 12 wedges of pineapple (about 3-inch by 1-inch each).

In a small bowl, combine honey, lemon or lime juice, and black pepper. Brush the glaze onto each slice of pineapple, coating completely.

Preheat barbecue grill. Either oil or spray the grill rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place pineapple wedges on the grill and cook approximately 4 minutes on each side (turning so that grill marks are on all sides) until the pineapple becomes fragrant and starts to dry out on the surface. NOTE: Don't overcook, or they'll turn mushy.

Remove from the grill and brush with any additional glaze one more time. Serve and enjoy!

Makes 6 servings.
