Pineapple Puree

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 2 tbsp water

Method

1. 01

   Cut off the top and bottom of a fresh pineapple, then slice away the outer skin and remove the eyes.

2. 02

   Core the pineapple and cut the flesh into small chunks.

3. 03

   Place pineapple chunks in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons of water and cook over medium heat for 7–8 minutes until softened (cooking reduces acidity).

   Transfer to a blender and blend until very smooth.

5. 05

   Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove fibrous bits, cool completely, and serve.
