Grilled pineapple is just so effin fabulous!

I think the first time I had grilled pineapple was at a Brazilian steak house, and I swear it blew my mind! Pineapple, with brown sugar, grilled? BRILLIANT! It was a bit of a why haven’t I don’t this yet moment for me.

Now, regardless of occasion, any time I find a ripe pineapple I bring it home and grill the sucker. It’s a great and mildly healthy dessert option for kids or adults. It’s quick and easy – no grill – no problem, bake it. Perfect for summer cookouts or picnics. It’s so yummy and goes with just about anything. I like it on pancakes, on my daliya, by itself, with ice cream, or even with cardamom saffron rosewater custard.

As I’ve said in other posts, I really don’t remember eating fresh pineapple in India, which is shocking. You’d think it would grow perfectly there. Maybe it was always there and I was too mango and lychee obsessed to notice? Regardless of the situation, I’m quite grateful to have yearly access to beautifully ripened pineapples. As a side note, even if the pineapple isn’t perfectly ripe throwing some sugar and cinnamon on it will help bring out it’s perfection.
