Method
Preparation of Pineapple
Cut the Pineapple
Start by peeling the fresh pineapple, removing all the eyes, and cutting it into small chunks.
Juice the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice, ensuring to remove any seeds.
Making the Syrup
Combine Sugar and Water
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add Pineapple
Once the syrup is ready, add the pineapple chunks to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Simmer
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is softened and the flavors meld.
Finishing Touches
Strain the Mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or pitcher, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add Flavorings
Stir in the lemon juice, fresh mint leaves, and vanilla extract into the strained liquid.
Chill and Serve
Transfer the cordial to a bottle and refrigerate until cold. Serve chilled over ice or dilute with water or soda water to taste.
