CHILI-LIME GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Chili-Lime Grilled Pineapple image

I love grilled pineapple. This recipe combines the fruit's natural sweetness with the tart and spicy flavors of lime and chili powder. It's great for dessert and even as a side dish with ham or pork chops. -Geraldine Saucier, Albuquerque, New Mexico
