Instructions
-
In a saucepan, bring vinegar and water to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in salt and sugar until dissolved.
-
Place diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice into a jar.

Pour the hot pickling liquid over the pineapple mixture, ensuring it’s fully submerged.

Notes
Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing jalapeno.
