Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple (fresh, peeled, and diced)
- 2 cups White vinegar
- 4 pieces Red chili peppers (such as Thai chilies or Fresno chilies)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves (peeled and lightly smashed)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 piece Sterilized glass jar or bottle with airtight lid
Instructions
1. Prepare all your ingredients before starting. Peel and dice the fresh pineapple into small chunks. Rinse the chili peppers and garlic cloves, and smash the garlic lightly with the side of a knife for better flavor extraction.
2. In a clean and sterilized glass jar or bottle, add the pineapple chunks, whole chili peppers, and smashed garlic cloves.
3. Pour in the white vinegar, ensuring that the pineapple, chilies, and garlic are fully submerged. If necessary, gently press the solids down with a spoon.
4. Add the granulated sugar and kosher salt to the jar. Stir gently or seal the jar and shake it lightly to dissolve the sugar and salt into the vinegar.
5. Seal the jar or bottle tightly with an airtight lid. Place it in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard, and allow the mixture to infuse for at least 7 days. Shake the jar gently every couple of days to ensure even flavor extraction.
6. After 7 days, taste the vinegar. If the flavors are to your liking, strain the vinegar through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, sterilized bottle, discarding the solids. If you prefer a stronger flavor, let it infuse for up to 2 weeks before straining.
7. Store the finished Muy Caliente Pineapple Vinagre Vinegar in a cool, dark place. Use within 6 months for the best flavor. Shake well before each use.
