  • 1 Key Limes, juiced and zested

In a small bowl, combine agave nectar, oil, 1 Tablespoon lime juice, and cinnamon.

    I only had a half a pineapple left so I also added some peeled fresh peach and nectarine halves I had bought and grilled them until just becoming soft. Served it with vanilla bean ice cream-YUM!!!!
