Equipment

▢
Saucepan
▢
Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

▢ 1 pound fresh pineapple, sliced
▢ 1 cup apple cider
▢ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
▢ 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
▢ 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Place the sliced pineapple into a saucepan and pour in the apple cider. This creates the flavorful base for your simmering mixture.
Add the ground cinnamon and ground cloves to the saucepan, sprinkling them evenly over the pineapple and cider. Stir gently to distribute the spices.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the fruity aroma to start filling the kitchen as the cider releases a slight bubbling.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey or maple syrup. This helps to balance the spices and enhances the natural sweetness of the pineapple.
Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, occasionally stirring gently, until the pineapple becomes tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Once the sauce is fragrant and the pineapple is soft, remove the saucepan from heat. The dish should be syrupy with visible chunks of tender pineapple.
Serve the warm spiced pineapple simmered pot in bowls or as a side, enjoying the cozy aroma and layered flavors.
