Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a grill full of deliciousness in no time. As my abuela always said, “The secret ingredient is a generous pinch of love.”

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
3. Brush each pineapple ring generously with the sugar mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
4. Place the pineapple rings on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the sugar has caramelized.
5. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving. The aroma will be tempting, but a brief wait makes it easier to handle.

Personal tip: Keep a close eye on the pineapple as it grills—sugar can burn quickly, and we’re aiming for caramelized, not charred.
