Pineapple Jam Recipe
Pineapple Jam is a sweet and tangy condiment made by cooking pineapple puree with sugar until it reaches thick spreadable consistency. It is very flavorful and have the natural taste of pineapple without any artificial color or preservative. I like how its looks golden and shinning when it done.
Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple cubes tightly packed
- ½ cup sugar optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Clean pineapple, scrap the outer skin. Slice it and then cut into small cubes.
- Take the cubed pineapple in a mixer and puree it.
- In a nonstick or heavy bottomed pan take the puree along with sugar.
- The sugar will melt and become runny. Let the mixture cook in low medium flame for 10-15 minutes.
- It will start to thicken keep stirring occasionally.
- When you see the jam consistency switch off and let it cool down.
- Now add lemon juice and mix well. Store in a clean container.
- Serve Pineapple Jam with bread toast / plain bread.
Notes
- Pineapple – I have used ripen pineapple as it gives better flavor. Avoid using very raw pineapples as they turn too sour.
- Cooking jam – Always cook on low to medium flame. High flame may burn quickly and spoil the taste.
- Consistency check – To know if jam is ready, take little on spoon, cool it and check if it spreads thick without running.
- Adding sugar – You can adjust sugar depending on sweetness of fruit. I usually taste puree before adding.
- Adding lemon juice – I always add only after jam cools down, else it may turn bitter if added while hot.
- Storage – Use clean dry glass container. I refrigerate and it keeps well for around 2 to 3 weeks.
- Flavoring – If you like stronger pineapple taste, you can add a drop of pineapple essence. Sometimes I leave small pineapple bits in jam for pulpy feel.
