Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat a grill to medium-high. Brush the grates lightly with canola oil.

- Pat the pineapple dry. Brush lightly with some of the glaze on both sides.

Notes
Variation: Swap lime for lemon and add a pinch of chili powder for a sweet-heat finish. Serving tip: Thread pineapple onto skewers for easier flipping. Leftovers keep in an airtight container up to 2 days; rewarm briefly on a grill or in a hot skillet.
