Ingredients
10,5ozcanned pineapple(300 g)
a handfulred onionsliced
2spicy pickled jalapeño chiliessliced
¼cupwater(60 ml)
1cupwhite wine vinegar(240 ml)
2tbspcaster sugar
a handfulfresh cilantrochopped finely
salt
Instructions
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.
