The eyes and core of the fruit do not have to be thrown away. Make a sweet and aromatic syrup from them. You can use it as you like: add to cocktails, pour over pancakes and pancakes, or replace them with other syrups in desserts.
Ingredients
- 170 g of pineapple cores and eyes (approximately this amount remains after peeling one medium fruit);
- 85 g lemon or lime peel (squeezed pieces left over from cooking some other dish are ideal);
- 120 g brown or white sugar (brown sugar will make the syrup more flavorful).
From the specified amount, approximately 140 g of syrup will be obtained.
Preparation
Cut the pineapple and citrus peels into small pieces. Place them in a ceramic or glass container. Add sugar and stir well.
Wrap the container tightly with cling film. Leave at room temperature for at least 4 hours to completely dissolve the sugar. Stir the ingredients about every hour to speed up the process.
Pour the resulting liquid into another container through a sieve. Use a spatula or spoon to press on the pineapples and citrus fruits to draw out as much of the syrup as possible.
Store the syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator for no longer than three months.
