Servings: 10

Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 bunch fresh mint, well washed

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, (from 1 lemon)

7 cups pineapple chunks, (from about a 2-pound fruit)

2 cups white sugar

Equipment:

kitchen twine

kitchen towels

stove

bowl

pot

sieve

tongs

Cooking instruction summary:

Directions:  Combine the pineapple and both sugars to coat in a large, covered pot and let it macerate, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve, for at least 12 but no more than 24 hours. (Setting this up after dinner and stirring periodically before bedtime is sufficient.) The fruit will shrink in size and release its juice and the sugar will dissolve in the liquid. If necessary, cover the bowl loosely with a kitchen towel tied with string to protect the sweet syrup from insects.When the fruit has macerated, move the pot to the stovetop. Tie the mint together at the stems with kitchen string or unwaxed, unflavored dental floss and dunk the leaves into the fruit and syrup. (Leaving the stems sticking out will help with easy removal later.) Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture steep, still covered, for 30 minutes.Remove the mint with tongs or your fingers and squeeze out as much of its liquid as you can through a sieve back into the pot. Strain the pineapple from the liquid and save it for another use (such as eating). Stir in the lemon juice. How to Store It: Pour the syrup into a glass bottle for storing in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 6 weeks.Plus: Pineapple Mint Soda (two ways) Stir 3/4 cup Pineapple Mint Syrup into 1 1/2 cups sparkling water (or any quantity in a ratio of 1:2). Add ice cubes and enjoy. Shot of rum optional. To make carbonated soda, see How to Carbonate It. Drink within 5 days. Note that soda left for longer than that, even at cold temperatures, is in danger of becoming explosively overcarbonated.
