Homemade Pineapple Rum
Ingredients
- 1 medium pineapple about 5-6 inches tall, excluding the top
- 2 cups light or dark rum
Instructions
- Cut top and bottom off pineapple. Peel and core the pineapple. Cut pineapple in half vertically, and then cut one half into 4 spears. 3 of the spears will be used in the infusion.
- Place 3 pineapple spears and rum in a sealable 1 quart glass jar. Allow to infuse for 2 weeks in a cool dark place.
- After 2 weeks, taste the rum and if the pineapple flavor is to your liking, remove pineapple (do not discard; see below) and reseal, storing in a dark cool location.

Use for the rummy pineapple – grill it on a barbecue

I was actually infusing light rum with pineapple when I decided goggle rum infusions and found this site. I use a whole fifth along with as much pineapple I can squeeze into a quart size ball canning jar and let it infuse for a month. I then decided I wanted a malibu rum type infusion for a added about a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract. Going to strain it now and see what I’ve got. Hopes it good.

That sounds great, Lisa! Let me know how it turns out. I tend to do smaller batches since I have a number of them going at once and can’t use it all up. Except for watermelon-infused tequila for summer margaritas; that I have a large infusion going all summer (recipe also on the blog).

I'm the founder/moderator for Punk Domestics (www.punkdomestics.com), a community site for those of use obsessed with, er, interested in DIY food. It's sort of like Tastespotting, but specific to the niche. I'd love for you to submit this to the site. Good stuff!
(P.S. I make a banana rum that's pretty damn good.)

Hi Sean! So nice to meet you and thank you for the invite. I will submit the recipe and I have other infusions too (being a DIY addict myself!). Will happily add more infusions as well.
