Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 20 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 whole lime
Directions
Step 1
Peel the pineapple by slicing off the top and bottom, then carefully trim off the skin with a sharp knife, removing any remaining 'eyes'.
Step 2
Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise, and remove the hard core from each wedge. Slice the pineapple into thin, bite-sized pieces and arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
Step 3
Pick the fresh mint leaves and place them in a mortar. Add the granulated sugar to the mortar.
Step 4
Using a pestle, pound the mint and sugar together to create a fragrant, green mint sugar mixture. Ensure the mint is well bruised and combined with the sugar.
Step 5
Sprinkle the mint sugar generously over the pineapple slices, ensuring even coverage.
Step 6
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the pineapple and mint sugar for a zesty kick.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a fresh and tangy dessert or snack, optionally garnished with additional whole mint leaves for presentation.
