Pickled Pineapple Preserve Recipes

PICKLED PINEAPPLE PRESERVE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour the vinegar and water in a large saucepan (you can also add the pineapple juice if you are using canned pineapple) and add the sliced red onion.
• Chop the canned pineapple into bite-size chunks and add them as well.
• Place this over medium-high heat and bring it to a gentle boil. Then add the sliced jalapeño.
• Stir well and add the freshly chopped cilantro. Season with the caster sugar (1 tbsp of sugar if you have already added the pineapple juice) and a pinch of salt to taste. Add more sugar if you want it to be extra sweet.
• Turn the heat off and let the pineapple cool down a bit in the vinegar. Then spoon the pineapple, onion and jalapeños in a sterilized glass jar and fill it up with the vinegar. Let the pickled pineapple cool down fully now at room temperature. Don't close the jar. Once it is cold, you can close the jar tightly. Let the pineapple marinate in the fridge for at least a week.

SPICY PICKLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, sugar, jalapeno, salt and lime juice in a small sauce pot. Bring to a simmer stir until sugar dissolves, remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the pineapple and cilantro into a large jar.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the pineapple, it should just cover the top slice.
• Seal and refrigerate at least 1 day before eating.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Pineapple will become more tangy with time.
