Recipe

What You Need

Rinds and core from 1 large ripe pineapple (about 4 cups chopped)
8 cups filtered water (chlorine will inhibit fermentation)
1 cup piloncillo, chopped (or 3/4 cup brown sugar)
2 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
Large glass jar or non-reactive container (half-gallon or larger)
Step 1

Rinse the pineapple thoroughly under cool water. Scrub the skin gently to remove any dirt or residue. Cut away the rinds and core, leaving a bit of fruit clinging to the rinds for natural yeast and sugars.

Step 2

Add the piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Pour in the filtered water until everything is submerged.

The Result

Make pineapple tepache with rinds, piloncillo, and spices, plus a fermentation timeline, sugar guide, safety tips, and storage rules.
