Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1/4 cup sugar
    2. 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
    3. 2 cups diced fresh pineapple (12 ounces)
    4. 1 small red onion, finely diced
    5. Pinch of crushed red pepper
    6. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
    7. Salt
    8. 2 tablespoons slivered mint leaves

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar with 2 tablespoons of the water; cook over high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Cook without stirring until the sugar begins to caramelize around the edges, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the pineapple, onion, crushed red pepper, vinegar and the remaining 3/4 cup of water; season lightly with salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until jamlike, 15 minutes. Stir in the mint. Serve warm or at room temperature.
