Method

Trim the pineapple, removing all outer skin, then cut into quarters, remove the core and place in a shallow container. Mix all the other ingredients in a bowl, ensuring the honey is dissolved in the liquid. Pour over the pineapple and leave to marinate in a cool place for up to 2 hours; if the pineapple is not fully submerged in liquid, make sure you rotate it a few times during the marinating.
