pineapple lemonade
This is a recipe from the Azores Islands (just off the west coast of Portugal). They're known for growing some of the world’s best pineapples that pack quite an intense citrus flavor. Today, the Azorean island of São Miguel hosts more than 6,000 pineapple greenhouses (something that’s unique to the Azores) which raise the majority of the pineapples sold in the Azores and Portugal. This recipe features fresh São Miguel pineapple and locally grown lemons and limes, and it results in a refreshing, tangy pitcher of the best lemonade available.
