Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe pineapple
- 250 ml port wine (ruby or tawny)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lemon
Instructions
Peel the pineapple, removing the outer skin and any remaining eyes. Cut the pineapple into thin, even slices about 1 cm thick, and remove the core from each slice if desired.
Arrange the pineapple slices in a shallow dish or platter that can hold liquid.
In a small bowl, mix the port wine and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the port wine mixture and stir to combine. Adjust sugar or lemon juice based on your desired sweetness and acidity.
Pour the port wine mixture evenly over the pineapple slices, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pineapple to marinate and absorb the flavors of the port wine.
Just before serving, finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle generously over the marinated pineapple slices.
Serve the pineapple with a drizzle of the leftover port syrup from the dish. Optionally, garnish with additional whole mint leaves for a fresh touch.
