When I made this, I made a half batch, but my limes were small and I used 1/2 lb of pineapple and 2 limes - and probably could have used 3. I also used sparkling mineral water, and it was fine. Sugar will be to taste, depending on how tart your fruit is. Ingredients:
2 pineapple |
2 limes, juice of |
2 cups still mineral water |
1/4 cup caster sugar |
Directions:
1. Peel the pineapple and chop the flesh, removing core and eyes. .
2. You should have about 1 lb of fruit.
3. Put pineapple in food processor or blender and add the lime juice and half the mineral water.
4. Puree to a smooth pulp.
5. Stop processor and scrape the mixture from the side once or twice during processing.
6. Place a strainer over a large bowl.
7. Tip the pineapple pulp into the strainer and press it through with a wooden spoon.
8. Pour the strained mixture into a large jug, cover and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
9. Stir in the remaining mineral water and sugar to taste.
10. Serve with ice.
11. (I'm thinking the grown-ups may want to add something else as well - rum or vodka or tequila all come to mind).
