Preserved Pineapple (A Delicious Way Of Preserving Pineapple At Home For The Festive Season!)

Pineapple is a fruit which is loved by almost everyone!Its used in various ways from an elaborate cream cake to the quintessential South Indian Rasam (yes we have Pineapple Rasam!) and the best way to enjoy the fruit out of season in to buy the canned fruit slices! Let me tell you that not everyone finds this convenient as apart from the expiry date and availability issues there is one great problem that maybe everyone swears by – OPENING the can!Again let me tell you that I have never had so much trouble in learning to cook than opening that metal lid.There are two types of cans – one that have the opening ring on them and the ones without it.Sometimes the ring comes away in your hand leaving you with the horrible task of prising a half opened can of pineapple and then you set about with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver and in the process you drip half the syrup on yourself and end up with perfectly broken slices of what were perfectly round and neat Pineapple rings.With the other type which have no rings I have the tool for that but someone has to hold the can while I cut though part of the lid,which will not open after a limit,then cutting myself,shedding blood,sometimes injuring the can holder who will not at all appreciate what is going on! I have taken anti Tetanus injections 3 times in a row!Which is why I chanced upon this recipe!As the quote goes : Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue! Realise your strength! Move on! I buy fresh Pineapple when the fruit is in season and preserve it myself these days.I have been doing this for 2 years now and I plan to share with everyone who has had similar experiences like me!This is one of the simplest recipes and believe me this works big time.I made a big batch with 2 big Pineapple fruits as I plan to gift small jars to Christmas visitors!And that is what we call – Season’s Greetings!
