I’m assuming your grill is still warm and toasty from yesterday’s festivities. Let’s put some pineapple on it! Grilled pineapple is one of my favorite things. I love it even more when it’s a bit spicy like here and here. This jalapeño basil sugar rub is so easy to make and tastes like a summer party in your mouth. Party on you party people!
