pineapple wine recipe needed

[cabbie]

picked up 4 pineapples today, just wandering if anyone had a decent recipe to make up a 5 gallon batch. i had thought of chopping them up boiling them up skins included and then fermenting the lot for a few days before removing the pineapple and transferring to demijohns

thanks
