SPICY PINEAPPLE PICKLE (ACAR NENAS)

Spicy Pineapple Pickle (Acar Nenas) image

This looked too interesting to pass up! It's not too pickly, with just a tablespoon of vinegar, but deliciously sweet and spicy. From a cookbook, "Nonya Favourites," which I picked up in Singapore. The book suggests serving this with rice and a coconut curry, or fried fish.

Tips:

Choose ripe pineapples. The riper the pineapple, the sweeter and more flavorful the pickle will be.
Use a sharp knife to cut the pineapple. This will help you to get clean, even slices.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the pineapple. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
Be sure to wear gloves when handling the chili peppers. The capsaicin in the peppers can irritate your skin.
Taste the pickle before you add more sugar. You may not need to add as much as the recipe calls for.
Let the pickle rest for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
