Grilled Pineapple with Jalapeño Basil Sugar

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!

    I can see how the basil, coconut sugar, and jalapeno go well with pineapple, but I would have never thought of it myself. What a creative combination!
