Preparation steps

Preparing the pineapple

1

Wash the pineapple under running water. Place the pineapple on a cutting board, cut off the top and bottom with a sharp knife so that the fruit stands stable. Holding the pineapple vertically, run the knife from top to bottom, cutting the skin in strips, removing the spikes and leaving as little flesh on the skin as possible. After peeling, cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then into quarters. Remove the tough core from each quarter by holding the knife at an angle and cutting out a cone shape of the core. Cut the quarters into slices about 1.5–2 cm thick or into long wedges, if you prefer.

Ingredients: Pineapple
Use a very sharp cocktail knife or chef's knife and a stable cutting board with a juice groove. If you're peeling a pineapple for the first time, work slowly, trimming thin layers of skin and removing the 'eyes' with the knife. Check if the core is hard — it should be soft in the middle of sweet fruits.

Preparing the glaze

2

In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt the butter (30 g). When the butter has melted, add the honey (60 g) and cinnamon (4 g). Stir with a wooden spoon for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly glossy; do not allow it to boil over high heat — the glaze should only gently 'steam'. If you want a stronger caramelization, optionally add the sugar (20 g) and stir until it dissolves.

Ingredients: Butter, Honey, Cinnamon, Sugar
Use a small saucepan with a thick bottom and a wooden spoon. Do not overheat — honey burns quickly. If the honey is crystallized, dissolve it beforehand in a water bath.

Grilling

3

Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat or a grill pan on the stove to medium-high heat (it should be hot but not smoking). Lightly brush the pineapple slices on both sides with a bit of butter (you can use a brush) — this prevents sticking. Place the slices on the heated grill/pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until dark grill marks appear, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. In the last minute, brush each slice with the honey-cinnamon glaze and let it caramelize slightly — the glaze should become shiny and start bubbling. The entire cooking process for one slice takes 4–5 minutes.

Ingredients: Pineapple, Butter, Honey, Cinnamon, Sugar
The best is a grill pan with a diameter of 26–28 cm or a garden grill grate. Use tongs to turn the slices, do not pierce them with a fork (they will lose juice). If you notice smoking or charring of the glaze, reduce the heat.

Finishing and serving

4

Transfer the grilled slices to a plate, wait 1–2 minutes — the glaze will slightly thicken, but the slice will remain hot. Drizzle each slice with a bit of lemon juice (optional, about 1/2 lemon for 4 servings) for a contrast of acidity. Serve immediately: as a standalone dessert or with a spoonful of sour natural yogurt, whipped cream, or chopped nuts for texture.

Ingredients: Pineapple, Lemon
Use a flat serving plate to catch any drips of glaze. Additionally, you can add lemon and sugar to enhance the flavor/texture. If serving with whipped cream, whip it just before serving.

Optional additions

5

If you want to enrich the dessert: prepare 150 g of natural yogurt or 100 g of whipped cream and serve it on the side. Sprinkle the dessert with finely chopped nuts or a mint leaf for decoration. Ripe seasonal strawberries will be a great spring accent.

For whipping the cream, use a metal bowl and a mixer. You can also add nuts to enhance the flavor/texture.

Fun Fact

💡

Grilled pineapple has been popular in Hawaiian and Latin cuisine as a way to bring out the fruit's natural sweetness; in modern Polish variations, it is combined with local products like honey, creating a bridge between the tropics and regional cuisine.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve a hot slice of pineapple on a warm plate, drizzled with fresh lemon juice. For a flavor contrast, add a spoonful of natural yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts or pistachios for crunch.

🥡 Storage

The dessert is best served immediately. Store the grilled slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; before serving, reheat in a pan for 1–2 minutes or in the oven for 3–4 minutes at 160°C. Freezing is not recommended – the texture of the fruit will deteriorate.
