FRESH PINEAPPLE SYRUP

Pineapple syrup is a very simple affair and a tasty sweetener made for use in the Pisco Punch (page 116). The flavor experience is different from using juice or fruit, because although it is clean, it picks up much of the vegetal characteristics of the pineapple. This syrup has many applications and can substitute for simple syrup to add more depth in tropical cocktails.

Yield makes 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups fresh pineapple cubes
1 quart simple syrup (page 154)

Steps:

  • Combine the fruit and syrup in a large food-safe container and refrigerate for 72 hours. Strain the syrup and discard the pineapple. Fill a labeled squeeze bottle for easiest use. The syrup will keep for 7 days, refrigerated.
