I worked in two grocery stores as a produce clerk, and no - you don't have to sniff the bottom, but you do need to smell the fruit. It should smell sweet and floral, and have little to no green on the bottom. You can also pluck a frond, and if it plucks easily, it's ripe.
@@unorthodoxromance254 Yep you pick a leaf or frond - the easier it comes out the riper the fruit. My family use to grow the fruit - there are a variety of pineapples and some are sweeter than others. My mum will wax on about the Gregory pineapples for hours.... lol I use to make my pineapple syrup by simmering the skins (with some fruit pulp) and the cores and used the flesh in my toasted coconut and pineapple ice cream. (it is amazing if you BBQ it... cover it in dark rum and set it on FIRE... lol)
i tried this but i used 3 cups of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. it tasted sweet ,and i then put it on my stove and on low heat i added a splash of lemon juice and it was excellent! i scooped out the chunks of pineapple and i only juiced half and kept the rest in a jar for sweet garnish on tooth picks. 1 trick i did different was i removed the core of the pineapple because it had a weird taste that would have damaged my syrup!
Cake batter: you can used spent fruit pulp for baking to flavor and add texture to baked goods. Wouldn't Everclear be a better option as a preservative? Adds next to no water and a lot more ethanol.
Great suggestion on using up the fruit pulp in cake batter. Everclear would definitely work as an effective preservative but a 40% or 80 proof spirit works just as well. Honestly, it isn't even necessary because this syrup will be long gone before it spoils. It's that tasty. Cheers!
I've been binge watching these fruit syrup series and LOVE IT! Your personality is awesome. I do have a question . . . Can I make any of the syrups from frozen fruits or from the pulp? Making several of these next month for a breakfast bunch .
You certainly can make these syrups with frozen fruit. Frozen fruit can be a good choice sometimes because it's picked at the peak of ripeness and flash-frozen. Another good thing about frozen fruit is, it's already prepped for you. Happy you're enjoying the show. Cheers!
this method of macerating the fruit and not cooking it works well with almost every fruit. i do it with everything from strawberries to muscadine grapes. a ratio of 2:1:1 fruit:sugar:water with the water and sugar changeable depending of fruit.
Bruce my good sir, great of you to share another great recipe with us. My plan for this…a spicy pepper infused mezcal pineapple margarita…shaken of course 🙌👍
I make all my simple syrups without cooking. Generally, I make rich syrup (2 sugar to 1 water) using half demerara and half plan white granulated. However, this method works for all types of sugar and ratios. Take sugar and add to a blender (I use a nutribullet since it's very high speed). Blend sugar dry to get it as fine as possible. Then add water and blend the hell out of it until it's incorporated. It comes out just as smooth as cooked syrup and is super easy.
I grow pineapples. Literally just chop the top off, plant it in the top layer of soil and boom, 2 years later a tasty pineapple. Also they should be golden. That's when you know they're ripe.
There are lots of cocktails that can be made with pineapple syrup. It pairs well with rum, vodka, whisk(e)y, tequila and gin. Try making a pineapple Margarita, or a pineapple Tom Collins. How about a pineapple whisk(e)y sour? Favour pairings to consider might include apricot, ginger, grapefruit, mango, orange, strawberry, and of course coconut.
10:10 Don't ever underrate this protip. I have nothing to do with cocktails in the first place, but in IT for instance, it also works wonders when you're in a pickle with some people that did not hear about you yet. The worst you can get is "Well, it's his first day so that's not too shabby". The best thing you can get is "Wow, and he can do THAT on his FIRST DAY? What a talented guy!" And there is a ton of situations in every field where it's useful.
Without the vodka you’re looking at about 2 weeks. Reducing won’t make a difference in longevity. What it will do is make a more intense flavoured syrup. With vodka it should last you about 6 weeks.
Sure. You could use any sugar. Brown sugar would definitely change the colour. It would also probably change the flavour profile a bit but hey it’s fun to experiment!!
I've never tried making sponge cake with my pineapple syrup. I would imagine it would work well because my syrup isn't that thick. You might have to adjust the sugar in the recipe you're using as pineapple sponge cake is often made with unsweetened pineapple juice. I think it would make a great frosting. Let me know how it turns out. Cheers!
Dan Man I make one by tossing 1 or 2 sticks of cinnamon into simple syrup as I bring it to a light simmer, place a lid on it, turn the heat off and let it steep for 4 hours or more depending on intensity required. Take the sticks out and bottle.
You should change the chopping board, I feel bad for the knife.
I've said this before but I like this guy! Would love to sit at his bar, order drinks and have a chat
Sniffing pineapple🍍 bottoms..! Good start.. 😜
I worked in two grocery stores as a produce clerk, and no - you don't have to sniff the bottom, but you do need to smell the fruit. It should smell sweet and floral, and have little to no green on the bottom. You can also pluck a frond, and if it plucks easily, it's ripe.
Gotta start somewhere! Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Since it’s a syrup doused in sugar, being a little underripe may actually be preferable!

You are amazing Sr.

loved your preparation and ...of course, your style of presentation.
Thanks for watching. Cheers!
This is really fascinating because I never heard of a no cook syrup. How many more no cook syrups are there?
A no bake lemon syrup comes to mind. I don’t mind cooking them though, a little effort goes a long way in your cocktail.

I like to think of myself more as a cool uncle 😎

Ya he’s alright. Ha 😎
I had some leftover pineapple and made a syrup. What cocktails should I use it in?

How long would this last adding alcohol ?
When you going to do the fassionola for the original hurricane?
It’s on my to do list!
Mad genius
Thanks 😊
very useful. gracias
Make some you’ll love it.
Amazing chef. Good luck
Thanks!

Ha, I agree totally. The worst though is when they know you and know you’re not new. Ah well 😆
How long would this syrup last without the vodka? Would reducing it make it last longer?

What cocktails would you make with this
New episode using this syrup released yesterday. The Rapple Dapple Pineapple Scrapple! Try it!
Nice
thank you sir
Thank you for watching. Cheers!
Can this method be used with other fruits as well?
Sure can. Check out my other syrup videos- I’ve covered quite a few.
Awasome 🍍😄
Thanks for watching!
Can I use brown sugar
Sure. You could use any sugar. Brown sugar would definitely change the colour. It would also probably change the flavour profile a bit but hey it’s fun to experiment!!
Awesome man :D I've just filmed a pineapple and lime cordial video myself!!
I use the skins too :)
Canadian content here 😉same spelling but extras eh(s).
Ooh that sounds good I’ll have to check that out. Cheers !
Hi how long would this last without adding alcohol?
About a week in the fridge
@@BarTalkCocktails 🤣 I made a quart of it and its already gone my family loved it.
My bender is on its last leg too.
Bruce, please replace your stone cutting board with a wooden cutting board. Every time your knife touches the stone, it gets dulled.
I know I know … ha
Can i use this syrup for sponge cake?

Watching him slam that knife down on a stone cutting board gave me anxiety. Definitely change that

Is the vodka there just as a preservative or is this recipe just set for a cocktail bar?
The vodka is just to preserve. You can leave it out.
@@BarTalkCocktails Thanks, good to know.
I tend to do these type of recipes in a good quality ziploc bag. Far easier in my experience. Great video.
Thanks for watching Scott, cheers!
It's Ur first day hahaha I use that excuse everytime 😜
I’ve been using it for over 40 years and it still works. Ha
that's a pretty big lemon my dude
Thanks for tuning in!
𝑶𝑴𝑮 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒐𝒓 🤪 and can’t wait to make your recipe 👩🏽🍳
Did you give it a try? It’s delightful.
I want a father or a grandfather like you Tbh. I would probably hang out with you every weekend
Father or grandfather? I’d prefer to be the cool uncle 😎
@@BarTalkCocktails Then cool uncle it is 👌😎
Great vid! For how long can you store it in a fridge??
It could last up to a couple months if you preserve it with a little booze but it’s so good it you’ll finish it off quick Try it!
Doc from "Back to the Future" cross-over with "Cocktail".
That’s exactly what I was going for?? Ha
Can you please do a cinnamon syrup
Dan Man I make one by tossing 1 or 2 sticks of cinnamon into simple syrup as I bring it to a light simmer, place a lid on it, turn the heat off and let it steep for 4 hours or more depending on intensity required. Take the sticks out and bottle.
It’s on my to do list. In the meantime Stephane added a comment of a great recipe you can try. Happy experimenting, cheers!
teach me how to make moonshine plz
🤤
It’s definitely better than the Liquid Steak 🤣
This was going to be my first ever Patreon thing. But then I couldn’t figure it out or it wasn’t workings. So I said oh fuck it haha
Oh fuck it can easily be my daily mantra. Ha! Cheers
RIP knife...
😂
Does pineapple _need_ a syrup though?
Plain ol' pineapple juice is so sickeningly sweet as it is.
I like to experiment, turned out pretty good. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Where u from? :)
Canada!
@@BarTalkCocktails im from Montréal. :)
If you ever visit mtl, id like to show you the best cocktail places in town.
Deal!
👍👍👍😎
U r so good, your jokes are kinda cringy but it's what makes it yours, so keep it up!!!
Cringy?! You get me! Ha, cheers!
ouch hurts to watch when the knife slams the stone board
I don’t even notice it anymore, years of repetition. Thanks for watching!
Why is this so hilarious and awkward?
