Muy Caliente Pineapple Vinagre (Vinegar) image

Finally! A use for the rind of those expensive fresh pineapples! From Daisy Cooks - "Vinagre -a condiment that gives sparkle, a citrus-fruity tinge, heat, and aroma- takes just about any dish to places it has never been before. I realize that if you don't know about vinagre, you could probably still live a full and happy life. But once you taste it, you'll be lost without it."

Time 50m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ripe pineapple
1/2 large Spanish onion, sliced thin
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
20 garlic cloves, crushed
6 habanero peppers or 6 chili peppers, of your choice, stems cut off, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon cider vinegar, as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off the pineapples and discard them.
  • With a big knife, cut off the rind from the pineapples with as little pineapple attached as possible.
  • Put the rinds in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and pour in enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and boil until the pineapple peel is very tender, about 30 minutes. Top off with water if necessary to keep the rinds submerged.
  • Meanwhile, put the onion, oregano, peppercorns, garlic, Habanero or other chili pepper, vinegar, and salt in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Strain the pineapple liquid over the seasonings. If there is not enough liquid to cover the ingredients, re-cover the pineapple with water and boil for 20 minutes.
  • Taste and add a little salt and/or a little vinegar, if you think it needs it.
  • You can use it as soon as it cools, but it will get better as it sits.
