I didn’t rinse it the first time and my tongue felt like it had pins and needles on it for about 6 hours( but it was so good! I recommend rinsing it well. I also rinse the pineapple after I have removed it and cut it in pieces. 4 people can eat this amount but to be hones you are not going to want to share! This makes enough for two pineapple halves heaping with fruit. The next step is to throw all your cut fruit in a bowl and mix well. Remove the half of pineapple using a knife and if you have a grapefruit spoon use that if you want to serve your salad in the pineapple a great presentation but not necessary. Here is a basic recipe from McCormick you can see the parrot on my bottle of chamoy. It has a limejuice and chile base and a pickeled fruit like mango or apricot added to it to give a sweet, tart, and spicy taste. I personally haven’t done that yet but I feel a future post on it coming up! Chamoy is chile sauce traditionally used to dip fruit in. Now if you are really ambitious you can make your own. Ĭhamoy is not as widely found as I thought it would be in the regular markets here, but you may find it locally at Del Valle Foods, I found mine at the 99 cent store in the chip aisle it is called Guacamoya Chamoy and has a parrot on it. Here is a link to where you can order traditional mexican ingredients like chamoy and Pica Limon. Ingredients for Pina Loca/ Crazy Pineappleġ fresh pineapple cut in half and fruit removed cut into bite size chunksġ cup of fresh strawberries rinsed and cut in half stems removedġ peach or nectarine peel your peach and cut in slicesġ bottle of Chamoy a citric acid/ chile sauceĪnd some chile lime salt powder like Pica Limon or Tajin found in most markets in Cali While it is time consuming to cut all the fruit up you can make a large bowl of this and keep it in the fridge for about 10-12 dollars and you get about 10-14 servings. El Korita and Sabores de mi Tierra are two of my favorite places to go in town locally, the link to Sabores Facebook page. If you live in a town that has any of these and have never been inside one I urge you to go because you will be in for a treat!Ĭurrently there is even someone selling these Pina Locas on Facebook locally for 7 dollars a pop.
These shops bring Mexican street food to the masses. Pina Loca’s are sold all over the place in my little Central Cali town at the local carnicerias or Mexican Delicatessen, fruterias or Koritas…shops which specialize in selling fruit drinks and concoctions such as the Pina Loca or Diablito slushie, my favorite tamarind slush, or even on street corners. It is has become my favorite food as of late and I love it because its versatile. Pina Loca or crazy pineapple is a summertime treat that you are sure to love if you like sweet, sour, spicy, in one bowl.
