Why Pineapple and Pear Work So Well Together

The magic of this juice lies in the way these two fruits complement each other:

  • Pineapple: Bright, tangy, and tropical, pineapple is packed with vitamin C and bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion. Its bold flavor forms the foundation of the juice, adding a vibrant and refreshing character.
  • Pear: Soft, sweet, and delicate, pears balance the tanginess of the pineapple with their smooth and mellow flavor. Rich in fiber and antioxidants, pears also add a creamy texture to the drink.

Together, these ingredients create a juice that’s perfectly balanced—sweet, smooth, and utterly satisfying.


How to Make Pineapple Pear Juice: The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about half a medium pineapple)
  • 2 ripe pears (any variety), cored and chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime or lemon (optional, for added brightness)
  • 1/4 cup cold water or coconut water (optional, for a thinner consistency)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves or pineapple slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel, core, and chop the pineapple into small chunks.
  2. Prepare the Pears: Wash, core, and chop the pears into smaller pieces for easier blending.
  3. Juice or Blend:
    • With a Juicer: Feed the pineapple and pear pieces into your juicer. Collect the juice in a pitcher.
    • With a Blender: Combine the pineapple chunks, pear pieces, lime or lemon juice, and water (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp.
  5. Taste and Sweeten: Taste the juice and add honey or agave syrup if desired. Blend or stir well to combine.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or pineapple slices for a refreshing touch.

FAQ

Q: Can I use canned pineapple?
A: Yes, but fresh pineapple is recommended for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, choose one packed in its own juice rather than syrup.

Q: Can I store this juice for later?
A: Fresh juice is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Shake or stir well before serving.

Q: Is this juice suitable for kids?
A: Absolutely! Its natural sweetness makes it a hit with kids, and it’s a great way to introduce them to new fruits.
