2. Blend the Pineapple:

   • Place the pineapple chunks in a blender.
   • Add 1 cup of water to the blender. Adjust the amount of water based on how thick or thin you want your juice to be.
   • Add sugar if you prefer your juice sweeter, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
   • Optionally, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice for extra tanginess.

3. Blend Until Smooth:

   • Blend the mixture until smooth. If you prefer your juice without any pulp, you can strain it using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher or jug.

4. Serve:

   • Pour the pineapple juice into glasses.
   • Add ice cubes if desired to make it chilled and refreshing.
   • Garnish with a slice of lime or a mint leaf if you like.

5. Enjoy:

   • Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh taste.

Tips:

• Choose a ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will be fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
• You can adjust the sweetness and thickness of the juice according to your preference by varying the amount of sugar and water.
• For a tropical twist, you can blend the pineapple with other fruits like mango or orange.
• Store any leftover juice in the refrigerator and consume it within a day or two for the best taste and freshness.

Enjoy your homemade fresh pineapple juice!
