Piquant Pickled Pineapple
Recipe GLPRabeed9b6892770
A vibrant, tangy condiment combining fresh pineapple chunks with bright lime juice, aromatic garlic, and a touch of heat from sriracha and fish sauce. This pickled pineapple works beautifully as a topping for grilled meats, a side for seafood, or a zesty accent for rice bowls. The flavors meld and intensify as it sits, making it perfect for advance preparation.

Ingredients
2 cups Fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch pieces
¾ cup Fresh lime juice
1 tbsp Fish sauce
1 tsp Sriracha sauce
1 Garlic clove, finely chopped
Directions
Place the pineapple pieces in a clean glass or non-reactive bowl.
Pour the fresh lime juice over the pineapple, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
Add the fish sauce, sriracha sauce, and chopped garlic to the bowl and stir well to combine.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing flavors to develop. The pickled pineapple will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Comments
Fish sauce is the real hurdle here—it's not stocked at Food Lion, Harris Teeter, or Walmart in Charlotte, which means a special trip to Publix or ALDI to source it. The 15-minute claim ignores pineapple prep; expect closer to 25 minutes once you cut and core fresh fruit. At roughly $1.50 per serving (fresh pineapple and lime pushed the cost up), it's a solid side or condiment for a weeknight, but the single-use ingredient and actual time investment make it a deliberate choice rather than a grab-and-go move. It doesn't reheat well, so plan to serve the same night or eat cold pickled fruit over several days.
