Place the pineapple cubes, sugar, and 1 cup of water in the blender and liquefy (the liquid will be quite thick and frothy). Depending on the size of your pineapple, you might need to process in the blender in more than one batch. NOTE: Use only enough water in the blender to liquefy the fruit. Strain the pineapple liquid through a fine sieve or strainer into your pitcher.
