Ingredients

1 small pineapple sliced or cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt

Instructions

Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces.
Set a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir all of the previous ingredients to combine them with each other.
Add the pineapple pieces, and fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove the pineapple from the skillet and serve immediately or later.
Enjoy the pineapple as is, or serve it on top of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can replace honey with brown sugar as a substitute, but honey remains a healthier alternative.
Butter gives a smooth texture to the pineapples. However, for a purely vegan version of the recipe, you can go without butter. Just use a small drizzle of vegetable oil.
Instead of frying the pineapple pieces, you can grill them. Simply place the cinnamon and honey in a zip-lock bag. Mix them well, and add the sliced pineapples to the bag. Shake them well, and then spray a grill pan with butter. After that, place the diced pineapples on the pan, and grill them on each side for 2 minutes.
