Wedges of fresh pineapple are dipped in butter, then in a cinnamon, clove and sugar mixture and grilled until browned and sizzling.

Grilled Pineapple Wedges

1 fresh pineapple
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1. Cut the rind off the pineapple, leaving the green leaves. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise through the leaves and fruit, making 8 thin wedges of pineapple with leaves still attached. Trim the core off each wedge.
2. Place butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until liquefied.
3. Place sugar in a another shallow bowl, and stir in the cinnamon and cloves.
4. Dip each wedge of pineapple first in melted butter, then in the sugar mixture, shaking off the excess.
5. Grill the pineapple wedges until browned and sizzling, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the pineapple wedges to a platter, and let cool slightly before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
