Pineapple Spears Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat grill on high while cutting pineapple. Cut top and sides of pineapple off. Cut pineapple in half lengthwise, then in half again. Slice core off wedges. Cut wedges into fourths for a total of 16 spears.
• 2. In a medium mixing bowl add brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon. With a fork, mix all together.
• 3. Turn grill to low. Place one spear in bowl at a time lightly coating entire spear. Place on grill and cook about 3-4 minutes then turn over and cook another 3-4 minutes. Be careful grill doesn't flame up as you would have blackened pineapple instead:)
• 4. Plate pineapple spears and add one scoop of ice cream. Sprinkle leftover sugar mixture on top.

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan.
• Cut ends off the pineapple. Stand it upright and cut off the skin in strips. Quarter the pineapple lengthwise and cut out the core. Cut each quarter into 3 spears. Zest the lime and reserve. Cut the zested lime in half and squeeze the juice over the spears. Brush the grill pan or outdoor grill with vegetable oil or spray lightly with cooking spray. Grill pineapple until evenly marked all over, 5 minutes. Garnish spears with lime zest and drizzled honey.

• To make the pineapple spears, cut the pineapple in half, lengthwise. Cut one half of the pineapple into quarters and make an incision parallel with the core. Place the pineapple spear on the rim of the glass. (The remaining pineapple can be cut into cubes and placed in the freezer to be made into a smoothie.) To make the pineapple wedges, place the pineapple on its side and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices cut each slice in half. Cut each half into wedges, about 3 inches wide at the bottom and 21/2 inches high from the bottom to top. Make a slit by cutting through the rind and halfway into the pineapple wedge. Fit the slit over the rim of the glass. To make the pineapple slices, place the pineapple on its side and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices cut each slice in half.
