One of my favorite treats to serve at a barbeque on a warm summer night is grilled pineapple. I top them with Greek yogurt that has been sweetened and homemade mint sugar.

yummy!
5 stars from me! I used a fresh pineapple and this has great flavors! The Greek yogurt alone with the ginger and mint sugar was amazing. I followed the recipe besides my fresh pineapple. I did chop mint finely with knife and put it with the sugar vs a good processor. Great for those who want dessert, but also want to eat healthy. I could see this as a big hit at a BBQ!
