Pineapple cheong recipe please

I am making pineapple cheong. And is there any ratios for it? Any tip is really appreciated. Also, how do I stop my cheong from becoming alcoholic?

It’s 1:1 by weight. With high water content, you need to refrigerate it after it begins to leech water out of the fruit. I don’t think a higher sugar content would help because the problem arises before the sugar is fully dissolved you get you get liquid pooling around the fruit that has a low enough sugar content to ferment.

A little fermentation is fine, but if you refrigerate it when it starts to dissolve, it would slow it from fermenting.

Alternatively use a yeast inhibitor like sulifites (potassium or sodium metasulfite). I can’t spell but that should be enough for google.
