For this pickle, you will need a medium sized pineapple, sugar, salt, black salt, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon stick and star anise. Apart from this, green chilli and fresh red chilli are also used.
Prepare pineapple pickle like this
First of all, heat water in a pan. Add sugar, salt and black salt in it and boil. After this add spices like mustard, cumin, black pepper, clove, cinnamon and star anise. Let the water boil well, so that the flavor of the spices gets mixed well in it.
