Instructions

Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and cutting it into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add the prepared pineapple chunks. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool for about 30 minutes. Optionally stir in fresh mint leaves.
Transfer the cooled mixture into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
