Easy Pineapple Jam Recipe - Delicious Homemade Spread

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped (Use ripe pineapple for best flavor.)
  • 1 cup sugar (Adjust according to sweetness preference.)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Freshly squeezed is preferred.)
  • 1 teaspoon pectin (For thickening the jam.)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Pineapple

    Chop the fresh pineapple into small pieces.

    The smaller the pieces, the easier they will cook down.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a pot, combine chopped pineapple, sugar, and lemon juice.

    Stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed.
  3. Cook the Mixture

    Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil.

    Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Pectin

    Stir in the pectin and continue to boil for another 1-2 minutes.

    Ensure the pectin is fully dissolved.
  5. Check Consistency

    Test the jam by placing a spoonful on a cold plate; it should set as it cools.

    If it's too runny, cook for a few extra minutes.
  6. Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let the jam cool before transferring to jars.

    Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
