In a medium pot, combine water, sugar and pineapple chunks and bring to a low boil on medium heat.
Crush pineapple and stir. Remove from heat. Strain.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen pineapple for this recipe; canned is too sweet.
Because you’ll strain the solids from the syrup, you don’t have to remove the pineapple “eyes” before making pineapple simple syrup, but do remove most of the skin. It’s easy for dirt and grit to hide in there even after washing!
