How to Make Homemade Pineapple Juice:
- 1 medium pineapple, peeled and cored, will yield approximately 1½ cups to 2 cups (12 to 16 ounces) pineapple juice.
- Place chopped pineapple in a large food processor. Puree until completely smooth. Strain through a large fine-meshed sieve, using a spatula to press down the pulp to release the juice, into a large measuring cup or bowl. Fresh pineapple juice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
