What do you do with all those beautiful pineapple scraps when you
buy a fresh pineapple?
Have you ever heard of Pineapple Vinegar?
One of my favorite cookbooks is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. It is a plethera of information on sprouting grains, the good fats we should be eating,
picking the old fashion way to keep good enzymes that our bodies so desperately need etc.
If you have not heard of it and are wanting to eat in a more healthy manner I strongly encourage you to check it out at your local library or better yet buy the book!
I was visiting Patty at Pandora's Box a few weeks ago.
She had made some lovely vinegars and bottled them in the prettiest bottles around!
I had mentioned about Pineapple Vinegar and
I had mentioned about Pineapple Vinegar and
Patty asked for the recipe so I thought
"Why not do a post on Pineapple Vinegar?"
It is easy as pie- actually much easier then pie!
How ever did that saying come to be- pies frustrate me totally- crust too tough, bottoms soggy--
Oh I digress--
Back on track now-
Recipe for Pineapple vinegar
skin and core from 1 pineapple
2 quarts filtered water
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspon red chile flakes
2 Tablespoons whey (optional)
Place all ingredients in a bowl and leave at room temperature for 36 hours. Skim and remove pineapple pieces. Strain vinegar into clean jars and cover tightly.
This will keep in a cool place for several months.
I use this as a base for marinades with chicken and fish.
Use in place of vinegar for salad dressing.
Pineapple Vinegar is a tradition of the West Indies and is used to make cortido.
The makes a great little gift to bring when going over to a friends house for dinner.
I pour the vinegar into pint size canning jars and cover the top with a square piece of fabric and tie with ribbon or raffia.
This recipe came form the recipe/health book Nourishing Traditions.

This sounds amazing and would make the most flavorful recipes. I am especially wanting to try it on salads. Do you have to wait any specified time for it to be vinegary?
That sounds so good. I havn't done vinegars, but I have done a lot of different oils. This sounds like a great thing to try. Hope all is well with you. Hugs, Marty
Duh, I went back and caught the 36 hours! Can't wait to try it.
This sounds really good, Mary. I love pineapple and I love vinegar so I would probably really like this. Do you know what else I use fresh pineapple for? I cut up the top part and put them on soil and they grow. I have 3 growing now and one is really big...Christine
No, I haven't heard of pineapple vinegar before...looks like a great project with fantastic results!!!

Hello New Friend!!
I met you today in your shop...and I just had to stop by {before I crash into bed, which of course is better to have crashed in bed than on the road, right?}...anyway, it was wonderful to meet you.
I confess I laughed when I saw your most recent post here...I am highly allergic to pineapple - haha!
Anyway, I will be stopping back...in the shop and here...and I am soooo excited for my new Memorial Boxes...so excited. My hubby was tickled for me too when I told him about you...
Blessings from Durango, Linny
