Muy Caliente Pineapple Vinagre (Vinegar)

"Finally! A use for the rind of those expensive fresh pineapples! From Daisy Cooks - "Vinagre -a condiment that gives sparkle, a citrus-fruity tinge, heat, and aroma- takes just about any dish to places it has never been before. I realize that if you don't know about vinagre, you could probably still live a full and happy life. But once you taste it, you'll be lost without it.""

directions

  • Cut the tops off the pineapples and discard them.
  • With a big knife, cut off the rind from the pineapples with as little pineapple attached as possible.
  • Put the rinds in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and pour in enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and boil until the pineapple peel is very tender, about 30 minutes. Top off with water if necessary to keep the rinds submerged.
  • Meanwhile, put the onion, oregano, peppercorns, garlic, Habanero or other chili pepper, vinegar, and salt in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Strain the pineapple liquid over the seasonings. If there is not enough liquid to cover the ingredients, re-cover the pineapple with water and boil for 20 minutes.
  • Taste and add a little salt and/or a little vinegar, if you think it needs it.
  • You can use it as soon as it cools, but it will get better as it sits.

  1. I'm not sure I'd use this as a vinegar in most cases, because it doesn't have a very strong vinegar taste. However, it does taste like a spicy vegetable broth. Next time I'll add more vinegar, and try a different pepper. This time I used Thai bird chilies (what I had on hand), but I'd like to try a fresh jalapeno. I created a crock pot chicken recipe using this vinegar yesterday, and my family raved over it. I used this more as a base for the sauce than a vinegar. Delicious! Thanks for posting this recipe, SusieQusie!

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
