Grilled Pineapple Kabobs with Honey & Lime Recipe

Grilled pineapple is the epitome of summertime. Served with frozen yogurt or ice cream, it puts a healthy spin on hot weather dessert cravings and seems like the perfect way to end a meal. Then again, it's just as good as a sweet sidekick to grilled chicken or shrimp. Now that I'm thinking about it, grilled pineapple and jalapeno salsa sounds like the "topping of all toppings" for shrimp tacos.

But I digress. Let's talk about how to make these grilled pineapple kabobs, topped off with some honey and lime.

How to grill pineapple:

First up! You want to find the sweetest pineapple. Next...how the heck do you get past that prickly skin and those finger-poking leaves? Check out my post on how to pick a good pineapple., which also includes step-by-step photos that should you how to cut a pineapple.
Depending on the presentation that you're going for, you can either cut the pineapple into chunks and thread them onto skewers or cut the pineapple into circular slices (no skewers needed).
In this recipe, I went the easy route by brushing the pineapple with olive oil before grilling. If you are hoping for additional caramelization, toss the pineapple pieces in a brown sugar butter mixture. A little rum never hurts either.
While the pineapple is grilling, baste occasionally with a tangy sweet mixture of honey (or agave nectar for a vegan version) and lime juice.
