Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Select and Prepare the Pineapple
Choose a ripe pineapple that is fragrant and has a slight give when pressed. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright and carefully slice off the skin, ensuring to remove any 'eyes' from the fruit.
- 2
Cut the Pineapple into Chunks
Once the pineapple is peeled, cut it into quarters lengthwise and remove the core. Then, chop the quarters into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Juicing
- 3
Blend the Pineapple
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks with 1 cup of water. If you prefer a sweeter juice, you can add up to 2 tablespoons of sugar. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth.
- 4
Strain the Juice
After blending, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher. Use a spatula or your hands to press the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
- 5
Add Lime Juice (Optional)
For a hint of acidity, stir in 1 teaspoon of lime juice into the strained juice. This step is optional but adds a refreshing flavor.
Serving
- 6
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pineapple juice for at least 30 minutes before serving or serve immediately over ice. Pour into glasses and enjoy your fresh pineapple juice!
