Tincturing Strawberries & Pineapple for Scent?

[Guest guest]

Hey Anya .. or any other mad tincture makers here ...

 

Can I tincture strawberry and pineapple flesh in alcohol to get a nice

scent? I recall trying it once and I got mold *lol*

 

I just hate to waste the flesh around the removed green strawberry

tops and pineapple " rind " . Well, its not really a waste since I

compost, but still ... {grinz}

Chris - I don't know about scent, but you could get some great flavor. That

could be the beginning of a great tropical martini.

Can't do it fresh, Chris. Need to dry it a bit - or a lot. Some even

use " fruit leather " for tincturing. I'd remove the green from the

flesh of the strawberry tops because that'd probably give too green a

scent, and dry the flesh bits. Yes, use pineapple rinds, but realize

that you'll probably have to change the rinds several times. Most

fruits or flowers, or whatever that you tincture for scent may need

several changes to inpart the desired scent level to the alcohol. HTH.
