Critical Success Points

  • Choose a well‑ripe pineapple (the crown comes off easily).
  • Do not let the sugar burn during the dry caramel.
  • Grill the pineapple without charring it; watch the grill marks.
  • Apply the honey while the pineapple is still hot for good adhesion.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot grill with kitchen gloves.
  • The caramel is very hot and can cause severe burns.
  • Use tongs to flip the pineapple to avoid splatters.
