Preparation method

How do you make this?

Cut off the crown and bottom of the pineapple. Peel the pineapple completely and then cut it into four equal pieces. Remove the hard core from each quarter.

Then cut the pineapple into thick strips and then into bite-sized cubes.

Place all pineapple cubes in a large airtight container or Tupperware.

Grate the zest of the lime directly over the pineapple and then squeeze the juice over it too.

Finely chop the jalapeño pepper and add it to the pineapple. Do you like it extra spicy? Feel free to leave some seeds in.

Sprinkle the sea salt and chili flakes over the pineapple.

Pour in the Cointreau and tequila.

Put the lid on the container and shake everything well so that all the flavours mix nicely.

Serve well chilled as a spicy snack, aperitif, or summer treat.

Tips

Really choose a ripe pineapple, it makes a world of difference.
The longer the pineapple marinates, the more intense the margarita flavor becomes.
Delicious with extra lime wedges.
Also super tasty as a topping on grilled fish or tacos, everything cut finer then.
Take chilled in a cooler for a picnic or camper trip.
Storage
