Suco de abacaxi com pêra

Something from Brasil which I miss a lot in Belgium is fruit. In Brasil there is an enormous variation of tropical fruit with a fabulous taste, and on almost every street corner you can have a freshly made juice (suco).


Yesterday I bought a small pineapple so this morning I made a juice with pineapple and pear. Just peel the fruit, cut it in pieces, add a little sugar and water and mix it with a hand mixer. You can strain it in a sieve to get rid of the last chunks and fibers.
In Brasil you can have 'suco de abacaxi com hortelã': fresh mint leaves are added to the pineapple, very refreshing!
