Cookbook:Pineapple Juice

Pineapple juice is a cool beverage to serve during the summer or on a bright day. It is incredibly sweet, energizing, and wonderful for everyone. Making homemade pineapple juice is easy if you use only fresh, ripe pineapple and, if necessary, a little sugar.

Blenders or juice extractors are used to make pineapple juice. If you prefer your pineapple juice to be very cold, you can dice the fruit and chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before blending it, or you can blend the fruit first and then chill the juice in the refrigerator before serving.
