Morphology
The meaning 'the sweet liquid obtained from pineapples' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pineapple' (tropical fruit) + 'juice' (liquid from plants). This noun+noun compound pattern is highly productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Pineapple juice is the sweet liquid squeezed from the fruit called a pineapple, a name English people gave because the fruit looked like a pine cone. So it means the 'sweet drink' you get from a pineapple and use for drinking or cooking.
