| 1. Wash the ginger root. Cut it into 1/2 " pieces. | 2. Move half of cut ginger into the blender. Add 1 cup of water. Cover and set blender to high. Blend until ginger coarsely chopped and mixed well into the water. Transfer this mixture to a large pot(8 quart). | 3. Repeat with the rest of the ginger. Add this mixture to the pot. | 4. Wash the pineapple. Use a sharp knife to remove the peeling. Slice the peeling off so that you also remove a half-inch of pineapple along with the skin. | 5. Cut the peeling into one-inch pieces. Transfer half of the cut pineapple peeling to the blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend on high until pineapple is in small pieces and mixed in the water. Move to the pot of ginger. | 6. Repeat with the rest of the cut pineapple. Add to the mixture in the pot. | 7. Add 10 more cups of water to the pot. Half-cover the pot with the top. Bring to a boil on high and boil on medium for about 30 minutes. | 8. Remove the pot from the stove. Cover the pot completely and allow the mixture to sit for 8 hours or overnight at room temperature. | 9. Pour the mixture through a metal strainer to remove the larger pieces of ginger and pineapple peel. Use a wooden spoon to press the liquid through the strainer. | 10.
