How to Make Pineapple Moonshine

Pineapple Moonshine Recipe
This pineapple moonshine recipe captures all the natural sugars and flavors from fresh pineapple and transforms plain store bought moonshine such as Ole Smoky into a sweet alcoholic drink. But don’t be fooled, it will still pack a punch.
The Goods
- 1 ripe pineapple- (A pineapple is ripe if a top leaf can be plucked with ease)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 bottle 750 ml of grain alcohol – Ole Smoky moonshine/Everclear
- 1 small lemon
Simple Steps
- We cut pineapple into small squares.
- We distributed the pineapple evenly between two mason jars
- We cut the lemon into thin slices
- We distributed lemon slices evenly into mason jars
- Added ¼ cup sugar to each jar
- Poured a bottle of Ole Smoky Moonshine (Everclear/vodka are good substitutions) until brim of each moonshine jar.
- Sealed mason jars.
- We made sure to shake the jars daily.
- We stored in a cool place for one week- we used our refrigerator. We found the longer the fruit sits in Ole Smoky moonshine the more flavors the alcohol will pull from the Pineapple. We recommend storing the jars up to a year in a refrigerator for maximum flavor.

Anyone know how many jars you get from the moonshine recipe ??

Do you have to seal them in a special way or is it literally just putting the top on the jar?
