- 1 whole pineapple
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
GLAZE
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cut off top, rind and bottom of pineapple; cut in quarters lengthwise and remove core. Slice each quarter into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
To make glaze, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar and stir until melted.
Raise the heat to medium and stir in the orange juice and cinnamon. Let this reduce by 1/2—this should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let this cool about 10 minutes.
Place the pineapple strips in a baking dish—I used a jellyroll pan. Pour half of the cooled glaze on top of the pineapple and turn to coat. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
Heat your BBQ grill to medium heat. Grill pineapple on both sides making sure you have grill marks on both sides.
Baste with the reserved glaze and grill until the glaze is caramelized (do this on both sides).
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
