Infused sake

Ingredients

• 1 bottle (750 ml.) sake
• 1 cup sliced peeled fresh pineapple
• or
• 1 cup sliced peeled, pitted firm-ripe mango

Preparation

1. In a 4- to 6-cup widemouthed jar, combine sake and pineapple or mango. Cover and chill until sake has a subtle fruit flavor, about 5 days. Lift out fruit with a slotted spoon and discard. Serve cold--the sooner, the better. Leftover sake (without fruit) will keep up to 1 week when stored airtight in the refrigerator.
