Ingredients
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup honey
- ½ fresh pineapple (peeled cored and roughly chopped)
- 30 pink peppercorns
Directions
Mix hot water and honey together in a 2‑cup or larger pitcher. In a separate container use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the pineapple and pink peppercorns together into a rough, but thorough mash. Slowly pour the honey mixture over the pineapple mixture, stirring to combine; set aside at room temperature at least 4 hours, but no more than 12. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container with a lid. The mixture will keep covered in the refrigerator about 3 weeks. Bring to room temperature before using.
