Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped fresh pineapple, water, and granulated sugar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pineapple pieces have softened and released their juices.
- Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the pineapple pieces further and extract more flavor.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pineapple syrup cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids and obtain a smooth syrup.
- Transfer the pineapple simple syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.

Notes
- Cook it low: Don’t raise the heat too high or you will risk burning your pineapple syrup.
- Use good jars: Sealing the syrup and storing it properly will ensure the best shelf life. I recommend a clean and sterilized glass far or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
- Storage: Store this pineapple syrup in a tightly sealed mason jar or glass bottle in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
