Drinking Pineapple Skin

Pineapples are wickedly delicious as sweet juicy slices. When I was growing up canned pineapple was an almost unaffordable treat. But I do not remember my parents ever buying a pineapple. Tinned goods, even today, have not caught on in India making buying tins or cans of food quite unwise. Such goods rarely sell and can continue on warehouse shelves for unsafe periods of time. But, there's the prickly issue of the peel that will confront you should you buy a whole uncut pineapple!

And, in India, it would be very unwise to buy cut fruit. So the pineapple often lures but you rarely get a bite. Should you go buy a whole pineapple there's still the fact that the pineapple might be gratingly sour. However, there are several nice dishes to make with pineapple that's not so nice to eat as is. 

But there's still the problem of the skin. You pay for the fruit but what you can consume is very little of it. 

One very fine idea is pineapple skin wine. I discovered the recipe online and it came out yum. I followed the recipe in the link above but perhaps the video will also help. It has subtitles. 


For those who whine about wine there's always the spiced pineapple drink. 

Apparently, pineapple skin wine is popular for Christmas in India, served with cake. In any case, it's nice spiced wine for any celebration.
