1 Cup = 250ml ; 1 Tablespoon = 15ml ; 1 Teaspoon =5ml

  • 125 gms (or) ½ Cup Sugar
  • 100 ml (or) a little less than ½ Cup Water

Instructions

  • Cut the front and end of the pineapple. Keep the pineapple upright, use a peeler or knife to remove the outer layer. 
  • Now cut the pineapple into half lengthwise. Quarter each half, remove the core and chop into bite size pieces.

  • Put pineapple in a blender, add water and blend it into juice.

  • Stir well and secure the pot with a lid. 
  • Move the steam release valve to the SEALING position. 
  • Press the pressure cook/ manual button. Set the timer to 2 minutes at high pressure. 
  • Once the timer goes off, let it release pressure naturally (NPR).
  • Once the pressure is released completely and the knob drops, turn the steam release valve to the VENT position and take the lid off the pot.
  • Press the saute button and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes or until it thickens. 
  • Press the cancel button and switch the instant pot off.

Notes

Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it to a bottle. 
Pineapple ginger syrup thickens slightly as it cools. 
Do not use dried or ground ginger as it affects the taste and flavour. 
If you do not want your syrup to have a pronounced ginger flavour, cut down the quantity of ginger to reduce the spicy taste of syrup. 
The instant pot takes around 8 minutes to build pressure and the timer starts after 8 minutes. So the total cooking time will be 10 minutes. The time an instant pot takes to build pressure might vary depending on the model.
