Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 large ripe pineapple peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups water filtered or distilled
  • 2 cups sugar granulated
  • 1 teaspoon yeast wine or champagne yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon citric acid optional for tartness

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Fermentation container
  • Airlock
  • Funnel
  • Strainer or cheesecloth
  • Bottles for storage
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pineapple by peeling and chopping it into small chunks.
  2. In a large pot, combine the chopped pineapple and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the sugar and citric acid, stirring until fully dissolved.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  5. Sprinkle the yeast over the cooled mixture and stir gently.
  6. Using a funnel, pour the mixture into a fermentation container, leaving space at the top.
  7. Fit the airlock onto the container and place it in a cool, dark area for 2-4 weeks to ferment.
  8. After fermentation, strain the wine and transfer the liquid into clean bottles, sealing them tightly.

Notes

Patience is key. Allow the wine to age for at least a month for the best flavor.
