Real Durban Flavour – Spicy Pineapples
May
No trip to Durban’s beachfront is complete without making a stop at the spicy pineapple vendor!
The friendly smiles of the vendors, the contrast between sweet and heat and the unavoidable sticky pineapple juice dripping down fingers is a fond memory shared by locals and visitors alike.
While the sweet, tangy juiciness of the pineapple is a welcome reprieve to the summer heat, the bite of the chilli reminds you that this is not your average pineapple, this is a Durban pineapple.
Relive the magic (or experience for the first time) this humble, yet iconic, snack with our take on the Durban Spicy Pineapples recipe. Using our Spice Emporium Pineapple Spice, which has cinnamon, salt and more, you’ll be reaching for pineapples, all summer long.

- Securely skewer the pineapples from the short base, up.
- Sprinkle spice mixture over each skewer in the spice until generously covered on all sides.

Tip
If you don’t have skewers available, cut pineapples into small squares and place in a bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture into the bowl and toss until all squares are covered. Enjoy with a fork or spoon.
