Spicy Pickled Pineapple

This Spicy pickled pineapple is a combination of sweet pineapple and spicy jalapeño ~ a wonderful topping for a sandwich or perfect snack time treat. 

Spicy Pickled Pineapple in a jar

With the summer garden in full swing, pickling pineapple probably isn’t the first thing you think of. Right?  When you think of pickling anything, cucumbers are probably the first thing to come to mind.

But in all honesty, pickling is the first thing that comes to my mind when I see veggies on sale at my market. Just a few days ago, my supermarket had pineapples for $.88. That (to me) is a deal, especially given that the cost of food is on the rise.

In reality, many things can be pickled. From cucumbers to corn, to radishes… garlic, celery, or even eggs. I’ve heard of pickling avocados too.. but i’ll be honest and tell you that I haven’t made it quite that far.

Pineapple though  – it’s delicious when pickled. And when you combine the pickling process with the spice of the added jalapeños you truly have heaven!   Spicy pickled pineapple is perhaps one of the things all of my kids can agree upon.

They all love it just as much as the next, and a simple pint jar doesn’t last more than a day.

Spicy Pickled Pineapple

If you can get your hands on a delicious pineapple, consider using it to make this spicy pickled pineapple. It’s relatively easy to toss together.

Give the flavors 24 hours to meld together and you’ll have a refreshing spicy (yet sweet) treat for a relatively hot summer.

Because here in Arizona, we’re all about finding balance in the midst of the summer heat.

Spicy Pickled Pineapple

Pineapple is indeed one of my favorite items to pickle. It’s a cross between sweet and spicy with the perfect jolt in flavor.

Enjoy as is… or even better, add it to your favorite barbecue pork sandwich, hamburger straight off the grill or use it to accompany it to your favorite homemade cheese.

While fresh lime juice is the perfect accompaniment to vinegar, you can instead make this substitution:

  • regular white vinegar
  • 1/8 C. fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • or even orange juice

This recipe makes three wide mouth ball canning jars.

    Looks good. Question though. Can more fridge life be gotten if the pineapple is simmered for a minute in the solution before canning? And will doing that ruin the texture of the pineapple?

      I’m not so sure, I haven’t tried that! When I make pickled pineapple, my older two kids usually finish it off within a week or so… so it never lasts much longer than that here. But if you try it, let me know how it works!

      I never did, but I don’t see why not. I would give Ball canning a call on their helpline to run the recipe by them and ensure it’s safe for canning. If it is, process the pints for 12-13 minutes and ensure they seal. Good luck!

    I can’t find mustard seed but have Garam Masala (whole) pickling spice and wondering if I could use that instead. Anyone have any thoughts, they’d be greatly appreciated as I haven’t pickled with it before. Thank you!

      You definitely can. I usually pickle with regular pickling spice… it’s not all “too” often I have mustard seed. I did get a bag of mustard seed on Amazon but it was such a HUGE bag… it was hard for me to use it all. By all means, use what you have!
