"This is the only way pineapple should ever be eaten."
Grilled pineapple is a simple and elegant summer dessert, for grill-lovers all over the world. The warm, caramelized outer layer cuts through the typical tang of the pineapple. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or eat it alone, you can't go wrong.
Marinade:
2 T light brown sugar
1 tsp cracked pink peppercorns
1.5 C coconut milk or coconut water
2 T honey
Pineapple, whole, skin trimmed
Place a whole pineapple with skin trimmed in a Ziploc bag. Heat first four ingredients over medium heat, stirring until honey and sugar are dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature, then pour marinade over pineapple and seal. Refrigerate 1/2 hour to 2 hours. Cook on grill over medium heat, turning every 4-5 minutes until all sides develop a slight caramelization and grill marks are visible.
