Pineapple Liqueur

2 c Fresh pineapple

2 c Vodka

1/2 c Sugar syrup (see recipe)

Buy the largest pineapple you can find as it will give you more meat. Look for yellow to golden orange color for sweet tasting meat. Avoid greenish color, bruises, discoloured areas, soft spots, or dried out brown leaves. Slice pineapple and combine with vodka in jar. Steep for 1 week. Strain and squeeze as much juice as possible from pineapple. Filter a few times until liquid is smooth and pulp free. Add sugar syrup to taste. Pineapple juice may be added for additional taste if desired. Age 1 month. Yield: 3 cups Container: Wide mouth quart jar
