🥘 Ingredients
Pineapple, sugar, water.
👨🍳 Method
Cut the pine into slices 1/4 inch in thickness; peel them, and remove the hard part from the middle. Put the parings and hard pieces into a stewpan with sufficient water to cover them, and boil for 1/4 hour. Strain the liquor, and put in the slices of pine. Stew them for 10 minutes, add sufficient sugar to sweeten the whole nicely, and boil again for another 1/4 hour; skim well, and the preserve will be ready for use. It must be eaten soon, as it will keep but a very short time.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
I tried Mrs. Beeton's pineapple preserve this week, and I must say, it was a delightful journey back in time. I found the process of using the pineapple trimmings to infuse the syrup to be particularly clever and resourceful. It's a trick that modern recipes often overlook, and it added a depth of flavour that surprised me. This preserve is perfect for the vintage enthusiast or the weeknight cook looking to impress with minimal effort. The result is a sweet, tangy preserve that's best enjoyed fresh, as Mrs. Beeton advised. I spread it on some toasted scones for a delightful afternoon tea. It's a simple pleasure that I'll be making again soon.
