Notes
- In step 1, if pineapple does not turn soft and water evaporates, then add little water and cook again till pineapple turns soft.
- To check for one string consistency, take a plate and add few drops of sugar syrup from the saucepan. After it cools down, using thumb and forefinger, stick the syrup between them. Release the 2 fingers. If single thread is obtained when the two fingers are released, it means one string consistency is achieved.
- Instead of grating pineapple or chopping into small pieces, you could also grind it coarsely.
