Notes
Storage :
Whatever leftovers you have can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze this pineapple for about 6 months. It would be great as a tasty frozen treat on a hot day.
Important Notes:
If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill plate or a saucepan on the stove top and cook each pineapple slice over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.
