ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteThis looks delicious! I've never tried pickled pineapple before but I can imagine the tartness that comes with pickling is something super interesting! Definitely want to try making this at home.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried picked pineapple, but I definitely want to! My husband's favorite fruit is pineapple so I think he would love this!
ReplyDeleteI love pickles but have never heard or thought of Pineapples! How clever! I must look for pineapples soon. I know I will love this.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of pickled pineapple before but I hadn't tried it myself. My husband's aunty mentioned it at a family gathering a few months ago. Is it only a snack or do you serve it with something else too, with a curry and bhaji?
ReplyDeleteI have never had pickled pineapples! Pinned as now I have to give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteOk I want to go back in time and have these shops on my way home from school. The shops we went past had greasy fish and chips, sausages and super sugary cakes and buns!! This sounds like an amazing snack, and a fantastic way to enjoy some pineapple
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm not much of a pineapple person (it itches my tongue) but I'm so glad it also works for mangoes which are a favorite snack of mine! I'll be trying this!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade preserves but I never thought about pickling pineapple! I will surely try this recipe, it sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've never pickled anything....this looks good! My grandmother used to pickle cucumbers to make me dill pickles and they were delish! I'll have to try there!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever heard of this, but I think I would love it! I love pineapple!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably a really stupid question, but I'd really like to try this and I don't understand what you mean by 8 No pineapple and 3 No green chili. What does "No" mean?

DeleteI would change it since it caused confusion..its actually "Number of Pieces".

DeleteI too would like to know the meaning of the numbers

DeleteJust one question about this excellent recipe. What type little chile pepper did you use. Looks real small in the photo. We have all types of peepers here in Arizona and I'm sure we have the one you used. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI have used the small variety of Chili Pepper available in Asian stores/ Indian Grocery Stores...mostly the Thai Variety.Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteIt doesn't sound like much if any fermentation goes on here since it's put in the refrigerator right after being cooked. I'm not very familiar with pickling is there more than one method and type of pickling (one that ferments and one that doesn't) or don't pickles have the same pro-biotic benefits as other ferments? I know that the vinegar and some of the benefits that develop from and in that combined with minerals added & developed have benefits all their own but this method (maybe pickling in general) doesn't sound like fermenting takes place. Am I missing or not understanding that correctly? Also does cooking the pineapple affect the specific benefits from pineapple (bromelain etc) at all? Usually cooking live cultures kills them too which I guess is another reason this doesn't sound like a ferment. But I may be all wrong here.
ReplyDeleteThats so much of information that you have passed on to me ..Haha :) anyways there was no science behind this recipe of mine or may be I have no idea about it. This is a very common street food all across India / Asia so just thought of recreating it at home. Would work great with taco / sandwich /burrito bowls or even just eating as it is.Thanks!
DeleteI agree. It should make it's own brine. Adding vinegar to something is not pickling it. I'm thinking of making this, but instead of vinegar I will use a starter brine that I made when I made fermented salsa verde.
DeleteI have a starter brine already made. Can I use that instead of vinegar?
