    Terri’s Tips:

    • Grilled pineapple is also great served as a topping for your favorite burger; or add to fruit salsa, or enjoy as a healthy snack.
    • Don’t peel fruit before grilling to assist with holding the fruit’s texture
    • For a savory flavor, brush the fruit with grape seed or olive oil
