Grilled Pineapple Wedges

Wedges of fresh pineapple are dipped in butter, then in cinnamon and sugar, and grilled until browned and sizzling.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 fresh pineapple
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking Directions:

1. Cut the rind off the pineapple, leaving the green leaves. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise through the leaves and fruit, making 8 thin wedges of pineapple with leaves still attached. Trim the core off each wedge.
2. Place butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl, and microwave just until melted.
3. Place sugar in a another shallow bowl, and stir in the cinnamon.
4. Dip each wedge of pineapple first in melted butter, then in the sugar mixture, shaking off the excess.
5. Grill the pineapple wedges until browned and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the pineapple wedges to a platter, and let cool slightly before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
