  5. 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.
