Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Peel the pineapple and set aside the peel and core, removing the flesh for another use.
Slice the ginger into thin rounds without peeling it if the skin is thin.
In a saucepan, put the peel, core, ginger and water, then bring to the boil.
Let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the water has taken on a nice golden colour.
Strain the liquid through a sieve, then return it to the saucepan with the sugar.
Reduce for 10 minutes over medium heat until you have a lightly thickened syrup.
Let it cool, then store in the fridge in a clean bottle.
