yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baker's yeast

Sourdough starter can add more flavor.

Wash the pineapple and pat it dry.

Cut off the bottom of the pineapple and remove the top for planting.

Peel the pineapple, removing the skin and core, and place the peels into a 1/2 gallon jar.

Cut the core into pieces and add it to the jar for flavor.

In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses to create brown sugar.

Use a funnel to add the brown sugar mixture into the jar with the pineapple peels and core.

Add water to the jar until the pineapple is fully submerged.

Cover the jar with a cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 2-5 days, stirring daily to promote fermentation.
