Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Pineapple Sage Simple Syrup Variation

  • fresh sage leaves add desired amount

Brown Sugar Pineapple Simple Syrup Variation

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the chopped fresh pineapple, water, and granulated sugar.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pineapple pieces have softened and released their juices.
  • Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the pineapple pieces further and extract more flavor.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pineapple syrup cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids and obtain a smooth syrup.
  • Transfer the pineapple syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.

Notes

  • Storing: Store pineapple syrup in a jar or container in the fridge for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for up to three months. I love to pour it into an ice tray and freeze it. After it’s frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container. This makes it easier to remove just the amount of syrup you need.
  • Choose a ripe pineapple: This will ensure your pineapple syrup as plenty of flavor. 
  • Using Pineapple Syrup: Add more or less to reach the desired amount of pineapple flavor and sweetness you want your dish to have.
  • Cool Before Straining: Make sure the syrup is fully cooled before you attempt to strain it. This will prevent any burns.
