Smoked Pineapple Syrup

Method

Smoke whole pineapples at 220°F until charred, three to four hours. Chop them, keeping the juice, and weigh. Boil with 60 percent of their weight in water for fifteen minutes, stir in 40 percent of their weight in sugar, and simmer 45 minutes. Blend, strain, cool. A charcoal grill for fifteen minutes gets you most of the way there.
