- Grilled Pineapple:
- Select ripe pineapple. Cut off top, but do not pare.(peel). Cut pineapple lengthwise into 8 wedges. Place wedges in 13x9x2 inch dish. Drizzel 3 tblsp honey over fruit, and let stand 1 hour, turning occasionally. Place skin side down on grill about 3 inches from medium coals, and cook 15-20 minutes, or until pineaple is steaming.

- Note: You could sub pineapple slices for the fresh wedges, just adjust the grilling time. I believe the parsley is for fresh, but if you don't have it, you can sub 1- 2 tsp dried.
