How to BBQ pineapple

1. Just because the coals are dying out doesn't mean the BBQ is over! Pop a skillet/griddle pan on the BBQ and get heating!
2. Add Anchor, cinnamon, and maple syrup to the pan and let melt while giving it a good stir.
3. Add your pineapple fingers to the melted buttery betterness and cook for 8-10 mins, flipping half way and coating with the sticky sauce until golden.
4. Serve with Anchor squirty cream, and drizzle over any leftover sticky sauce and grated chocolate for extra scrumptiousness. Desserts don't get more dapper than this!
5. Show us your creations on Instagram – it’s @anchor_dairy with #AnchorBBQ!
