  • 1 cup very ripe fresh pineapple or unsweetened tinned pineapple drained
  • 1 tsp minced ginger or more to taste
  • 1 Tbsp coconut sugar or more to taste
  • 1 tiny pinch of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt
  1. Puree on low in your blender (I use a Vitamix) until well combined but still rustic in consistency.
  2. Will keep in a sealed glass jar for about a week. But it won’t ever last that long.

Piggy Cooking Tips

the best way to clean your blender

After blending up something sticky, gooey or smelly, just place a few drops of soap in the carriage with some warm water and blend on high until all of the congealed food slips away from the blades and sides. Then repeat this process. Then rinse with water and presto! Clean carriage. 
If you have smells or stains repeat this process with some bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice and water.
