Muy Caliente Pineapple Vinagre (Vinegar)

1. 1

   Cut the tops off the pineapples and discard them.

2. 2

   With a big knife, cut off the rind from the pineapples with as little pineapple attached as possible.

3. 3

   Put the rinds in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and pour in enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and boil until the pineapple peel is very tender, about 30 minutes. Top off with water if necessary to keep the rinds submerged.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, put the onion, oregano, peppercorns, garlic, Habanero or other chili pepper, vinegar, and salt in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.

5. 5

   Strain the pineapple liquid over the seasonings. If there is not enough liquid to cover the ingredients, re-cover the pineapple with water and boil for 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Taste and add a little salt and/or a little vinegar, if you think it needs it.

7. 7

   You can use it as soon as it cools, but it will get better as it sits.
