Notes

Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days ahead of time. If you are using this during a large holiday meal, I recommend making it ahead of time.
If you don't have a juicer to make the fresh Pineapple juice - blitz pineapples pieces in a. blender and strain through a sieve.
A medium pineapple will provide 1 - 1.5 cups of juice.
