Preparation

Step 1

Mix water, sugar and the spices of your choice. Be imaginative :).
If your not sure, use vanilla. Simple, but a great choice.
Boil the mix around five minutes. Reserve it.

Cut the pineapple into thin slices and put them on a large plate.
Put de syrup on them et put it in the fridge for around 4 hours.

For the molecular part, you'il need a molecular kit.

Be careful when you pour the liquid in the mixture of sodium alginate. It is very important not to put too much at once because you'll have nonuniform balls. Also, for conservation before the meal, I left them in the water.

Decorate the rest with some seasonal fruit to bring color and diversity.
