Pineapple Tequila

susie cooks's Note:

You will need a large, sterilized, wide mouth bottle or jar for this. The tequila will need to stand 1 week before using. After you drink the tequila, you can serve the fruit with ice cream or warm with butter and cinnamon. Yum!!!

10 Star Susie! A wonderful and easy way to make pineapple even more delicious than it is already!! I made mine a week ago - and I have just tasted some today! I plan to serve it tonight with creme fraiche and use my tequila for some cocktails beforehand!! Thanks, FT:-)
