1/4 cup lime juice

Fresh pineapple rings from produce section OR canned pineapple rings in juice
Preheat grill, while waiting:
Mix honey and lime, brush both sides of rings with mixture
Grill rings for 3 - 4 minutes, turning halfway to get grill marks on both sides
Brush with more honey-lime mixture while still hot

These make a great appetizer or dessert, and they are excellent on Hawaiian style hamburgers.
