Pineapple Jam
Here's something I never envisioned sharing with you! Not only did I never consider sharing it here, but I also never imagined myself making jams!Well, my newfound mantra is "never say never" 😉I have a deep affection for jam and consistently seek out high-quality homemade varieties whenever I can. I used to believe that making jam was a complex and time-consuming endeavor, so the thought of trying it never crossed my mind.
Ingredients
- 450 – 500 gms Ripe Pineapple, cut into cubes (measured after cleaning)
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp Sugar
Instructions
- Juice the cleaned pineapple cubes.
- Transfer the pineapple juice (no need to strain it) to a bottom-heavy wide pan. Add sugar to the juice.
- Cook the juice and the sugar on low flame. Do not add any water. Keep stirring in between. Continue cooking till the mixture thickens and becomes a jammy consistency.
- To check whether the jam is ready, add 1 tsp of jam to a chilled plate and tilt. If the jam doesnt slide, it's ready.
- Let the jam cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for 3 -4 months.
Notes
- Do a taste test of the pineapple and add sugar accordingly. The pineapple I used was naturally sweet.
- It takes around 20-25 mins approx to reach the jammy consistency. The cooking time may vary depending on the pan you use and also the heat level.
