1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes, if using.

2. Cut pineapple into 1.5-inch chunks and remove core.

3. In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, cinnamon, and melted butter.

4. Toss pineapple chunks in the mixture to lightly coat.

5. Thread pineapple onto skewers, leaving small space between chunks.

6. Preheat grill to medium-high and oil grates.

7. Grill skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, rotating to achieve grill marks.

8. Serve warm with optional toppings like ice cream, mint, or coconut.

Notes

Do not over-marinate pineapple—15 minutes is ideal.

Use metal skewers if grilling over high heat to avoid burning.

Try alternating pineapple with strawberries or pound cake.
