Honey Grilled Pineapple with Pineapple Granitée

I have tried this dessert of 2 different occasions....the recent was for the New year eve 2011 Finale ....and both the times, by the time I set the plate , it just disappears.....so try this for performing the trick " Vanishing Plate " :)

All you require for the Grilled Pineapple

4 -5 slices of pineapple - cut into any shape of your choice
1tsp Lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground / grated cinnamon
4 Tbsp honey

In a deep dish , line  the pineapple and drizzle it with honey and lemon juice and sprinkle the cinnamon
Let these get married for 2 hours....allow it to marinate 
Cover it with a wrap and keep it aside

For Pineapple Granitée

1/3 cup sugar
2 cups pineapple juice

To prepare the granitée, mix the sugar, 1 cup of the juice in a saucepan over medium heat and heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally
Stir in the rest of the juice, and allow to cool
Pour the juice into a flat, covered container and freeze
Once it is solid, break it with a fork so that it becomes flaky

After 2hours..........

Grill the pineapple on a grill top / grill pan over medium heat
Grill on both sides until the glaze caramelizes and grill marks form, about 2 minutes per side


 To Serve:

In a serving plate , place the grilled pineapple piece and drizzle it with honey
Top t with a scoop of ice cream ( I preferred Vanilla)
And place a spoon of the granitée

Addition:

I also plated some crushed peanut brittle along with some fresh fruits such as strawberry - cherry and grapes
And for the second instance I had serves some carrot halwa along with this 
Will surely try to click a pic of the plated portion the next time
