Ingredients:
Leftover skin & core from the pineapple
8 cups of water
brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup, however give or take with your desired sweetness)
Dash of sugar & cloves
Put all the ingredients in a pot & bring to a boil for 15 minutes (at this point, YES it is going to smell like Virginia Ham! lol) After that, remove from heat, cover & let sit overnight. Then just strain or pick out the skin & core & you've got your chica!!!! Just refrigerate & you practically got free juice.
Once it got cold & I tasted it, I decided to add about 2 tbsp of honey to my cup. It's pretty good...I have one more quart left!
Enjoy & bon appetite!
