Homemade Pineapple Vodka (Michael Smith)

Another yummy recipe from Canadian Chef, Michael Smith. The fresh pineapple that you use to make this is delicious if you dare to eat it! I did not include the week that you have to let it infuse. Enjoy!

1. Place pineapple chunks in a large jar or resealable container. Pour in vodka and store in the refrigerator for 7 days.
