Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh pineapple
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 45 milliliters Kirsch (cherry brandy)
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom, then cutting away the skin from the sides. Remove any remaining eyes with a small paring knife.
Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise and trim out the tough core from each quarter. Slice each quarter into thin, bite-sized pieces and arrange them in a serving dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves completely. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Stir the Kirsch and fresh lemon juice into the syrup. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the Kirsch syrup over the sliced pineapple, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
