1. Wash the pineapples. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to remove the peeling. Cut into one-inch pieces. 2. Transfer to a deep pot. I use an 8 quart pot. 3. Use the knife to slice the pineapple off the core. Discard the core. Dice into one-inch pieces. Add to pot. 4. Add enough water to the pot to cover the pineapple. Bring to a boil on high and boil on medium-high until the pineapple and skin are soft and mushy. 5. Remove the pot from the stove. Cover the pot completely and allow the mixture to sit for 8 hours or overnight at room temperature. 6. Pour the mixture through a metal sifter to remove the larger pieces of pineapple peel. Use a cook spoon to press help force the liquid through the sifter. 7. Next, Use a clean cotton kitchen cloth to strain out the finer particles. You will have to use your hand to squeeze the pineapple beer out of the cloth. 8. To sweeten, first melt sugar over low heat. Add the melted sugar and mix well. I recommend adding a half cup of the melted sugar at a time, until it is sweetened to your taste. Cut and squeeze lime. Add to juice. Chill and enjoy. Store in the fridge. 9. *Tips: 10. Make sure to buy the pineapple ripe. Pineapple is one of those fruits that does not ripen or sweeten if it is picked green. 11. I determine the ripeness of a fresh pineapple by the smell. You can’t always go by the color because color may vary. A ripe pineapple will have a fresh, tropical smell. If it smells unpleasant or has soft and dark spots, it is bad. 12. Store your pineapple at room temperature so that it keeps the sweet and tangy flavor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
