Homemade Pineapple Vinegar: Your Healthy Summer Drink!
The Golden Recipe for Summer Prep! I Made ‘Pineapple Vinegar’!
Hello everyone! As the weather gets warmer and summer approaches, are you getting ready for the season? Don’t worry! Today, I’m going to show you how to make a delicious and healthy ‘Pineapple Vinegar’ right at home. This versatile ingredient is fantastic for boosting your summer health and is perfect for those looking for healthier drink options. Let’s get started!
Ingredients- 400g frozen pineapple chunks or fresh pineapple
- 350g brown sugar (aids in fermentation and sweetness)
- 400g apple cider vinegar (adds flavor and acidity)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before we begin making the pineapple vinegar, the most crucial step is preparation! First, ensure your glass jar is thoroughly sterilized. You can do this by boiling it in water for 10 minutes or by washing it well and letting it dry completely. Hygiene is key for successful fermentation!
Step 2
Now, let’s create the base. In a clean pot, combine the brown sugar (350g) and apple cider vinegar (400g). Stir them together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Heating gently over low heat can help dissolve the sugar faster and prevent burning. This mixture will form a light syrup.
Step 3
Carefully place the pineapple chunks (400g) into your sterilized glass jar. If using frozen pineapple, you can add it directly without thawing. The natural sweetness and enzymes in the pineapple will interact with the vinegar during fermentation.
Step 4
Pour the sugar-vinegar mixture over the pineapple in the jar, ensuring the pineapple is well-covered. Seal the jar and let it sit at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, for about 2 weeks. During this time, the pineapple will infuse the vinegar with its delicious flavor. After 2 weeks, your homemade pineapple vinegar will be ready! To enjoy, dilute it with water at a 1:5 ratio (vinegar to water). You can adjust the sweetness by adding a touch of honey if desired. Enjoy this refreshing and healthy drink!
