Notes

  • Choose ripe pineapple that gives slightly when pressed and smells sweet at the base for maximum flavor
  • Remove jalapeño seeds completely for mild heat, or leave some seeds for extra spice according to preference
  • Make salsa 2-4 hours ahead for best flavor development, but consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness
  • Drain excess liquid before serving if salsa becomes too watery after chilling
