Ingredients

  • 1120 g Pineapple, compote

  • 600 g Sugar, white

  • 60 ml Syrup, corn

Steps

  1. Drain the pineapple and cut it into smaller pieces. Reserve the juice. In a large deep pan, mix 375 ml of the juice, sugar, and corn syrup. Place the pan over medium heat. While the mixture heats, stir continuously with a spoon. Wait for the liquid to boil, then cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the liquid thickens slightly.

  2. Add the pineapple to the pan. Cook it over low heat for 45 minutes. If needed, add a little juice or water to prevent the sugar syrup from caramelizing.

  3. Preheat the oven to 95 °C. Prepare a baking tray with a rack and arrange the pineapple pieces on it. Dry them in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until they are no longer sticky.

  4. Remove the tray from the oven and let the pineapple pieces cool. Transfer the candied pineapple to a serving dish or store it in a jar with a lid.
