Pickled Pineapple

Sweet and sour mix of fresh pineapple, onions and maraschino cherries for fun. 32 ounce jar, small fresh cubed pineapple, 1 small white onion.  In a pan heat up 2 cups white vinegar, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon pickling spices, dried red pepper to taste (be careful) and 2 tablespoons kosher salt or pickling salt until the salt is dissolved. Pour and seal, it's best after 3 or 4 days.

I keep a jar at work and one at home, for after-meal digestif. After a heavy meal, one of these will clear your palate, and your sinuses, with a sweet sour explosion that is very pleasant to me. It's not for everyone.

Revision 3/6/17 for the brave:
Put the spices in cooking cheesecloth sachets! About 12 inches by 12 inches, tie the corners into knots to close.

This is super sour, not for the meek.
