Ingredients:
3 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about 1/2 inch pieces)
1 cup sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Prepare the Pineapple:
Peel and core a fresh pineapple. Cut it into small chunks, about 1/2 inch in size.
Cook the Syrup:
In a large pot, combine the sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard seeds, chili flakes, turmeric powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Add the Pineapple:
Once the syrup is boiling, add the pineapple chunks to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pineapple is translucent and the syrup has thickened slightly.
