Weck Jars
Wide Mouth Mason Jars

Ingredients

1 large pineapple
2 cups Malibu Rum
2 tall jars or containers

Instructions

Cut The Pineapple: Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple. Turn the pineapple so it is standing flat. Slice the outer skin of the pineapple. Be careful not to cut too much. You want as much of the pineapple flesh as possible. Trim any seeds or hard parts of the skin from the flesh. Cut straight down the center of the pineapple so that there are two halves. They cut each half into another half. Cut the core off of each slice. Use a knife and cut from top to bottom. The core will end up being a strip once cut off. Finally, slice into sticks. You can do long or shorter sticks.
Assemble: Place the sticks in a tall jar or container. Cover with the Malibu rum and allow to chill for at least 6 hours before serving. I recommend eating the Malibu pineapples within 24 hours or the texture will become a little mushy.

Notes

Expert Tips

- Be sure to label your jar so that only the adults grab these boozy treats.

- To make a non-alcoholic version, follow the same steps, but soak your pineapple spears in pulp-free coconut water, then chill for a few hours and serve. The kids will love these!

- I like these Malibu pineapples for snacking, but if you want to make these for garnish, feel free to use pineapple rings or chunks.

- If you’d prefer to use canned pineapple, be sure to drain the juice first, then soak it in the rum.

Serving Tips

- After soaking and chilling for 6 hours, serve by themselves or as a garnish in a tropical drink like a pina colada.

Storage Tips

- Store in a wide-mouth mason jar or container with a lid in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving. This way, the pineapples can absorb the Malibu rum.

- These Malibu pineapples won’t last much longer than 24 hours, as they get mushy in texture and don’t taste good. For best results eat them sooner than later.
