Pineapple Syrup
Ingredients
Instructions
Trim both ends of the pineapple, then cut it crosswise into ¾-inch slices.
Cut those slices into 8 wedges.
#SpoonTip: Cutting off the peel is optional, but suggested.
Combine the pineapples wedges and simple syrup in a large bowl and leave to macerate for at least 5 hours in the refrigerator. Stir or mash the fruit lightly every 2 hours.
#SpoonTip: Letting the fruit macerate longer extracts more flavor out of it for more pineapple goodness. However, 24 hours should be the max amount of time.
Strain out all of the syrup through a mesh strainer.
Press on the pineapple to extract as much liquid as possible.
Bottle and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
