Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- Use honey instead of maple syrup if you don't need the dish to be vegan.
- Swap the lime juice for lemon juice or a splash of orange juice for a slightly different citrus note.
- Use canned pineapple rings in juice, drained and patted dry, if fresh pineapple is hard to find.
- Replace the cinnamon with a pinch of ground ginger or chilli flakes for a warmer, spicier finish.
Storage
Grilled pineapple is best eaten warm on the day, but leftovers can be refrigerated in a covered container within 2 hours and eaten within 3 to 4 days, cold or briefly reheated in a pan. Freezing is not recommended, as the pineapple turns soft and watery once thawed.
Make ahead
Peel, core and slice the pineapple up to a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge, and whisk the glaze in advance too. Grill just before serving for the best caramelised edges.
