Notes

  • Fresh pineapple is best for this pickled pineapple recipe (sorry, canned pineapple chunks.) Ripe pineapple smells sweet and has a firm yet tender texture that holds up well when pickled.
  • Make sure the pineapple chunks are completely covered in pickling liquid to help them retain their color and texture.
  • For a less spicy pickled pineapple, remove the jalapeno seeds.
