Pineapple juice

🍍 Blended fresh pineapple, water and lime drink without added sugar.

Ingredients

• 600 g net healthy ripe pineapple flesh without skin, eyes or hard core
• 300 ml cold potable water initially, plus enough to top to 1 litre final
• 15 ml lime juice

Preparation

Wash pineapple exterior. On stable board remove crown, skin, eyes and hard core, then weigh 600 g healthy flesh and discard waste.

Cut blender-sized pieces, check no hard fragments. Measure 300 ml water and 15 ml lime.

Blend briefly with 150 ml taken from initial 300 ml water until uniform.

Add remaining 150 ml water and lime, mix briefly. No sugar or dairy added.

Fine-strain gently if needed to remove hard fibres. Measure liquid in graduated jug.

Top with cold water to 1 litre finished drink, not extra litre. Cover and chill 30 minutes, longer if not cold.

Stir and serve four 250 ml glasses. Refrigerate remainder immediately and preferably use within 24 hours.
