Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh, canned or frozen pineapple
  • 1 juice of one lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Saucepan or pot
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 2-3 Jars with lids
  • 1 Cutting board (if using fresh pineapple)  optional
  • 1 Citrus juicer/ reamer (for juicing lemon)  optional
  • 1 zester or grater
  • 1 Immersion blender or regular blender optional optional

Method
 

  1. Remove the outside, core, and chop pineapple if you are using fresh fruit.
  2. Zest and juice the lemon
  3. Add pineapple, lemon zest, juice of one lemon, and sugar to a saucepan.
  4. Bring to a boil
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the pineapple jam to desired consistency.
  7. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes. The mixture should thicken to a jam-like consistency.
  8. Transfer your pineapple jam to jars using a spatula. I like to use small jars so I can freeze and defrost the jam in batches when I want to enjoy it.
  9. Allow the jam to cool.
  10. Store in refrigerator for 4 weeks or freezer for up to 6 months.
