Fresh home made Pineapple jam

Fresh home made Pineapple Jam

 
Ingredients:

1 medium large sweet pineapple 

2-3 cups fine granulated sugar

Recipe:

1. Peel the pineapple skin with a sharp chef knife and dice into small pieces. Slicing the pineapple can be tricky. I usually have the pineapple standing on cutting board and hold it by its top leaves firmly and start cutting top to bottom slice by slice moving around. I don't worry about the eyes and details until I am done with the chef knife. Once the skin is off, using kitchen knife I work on small sections to remove the eyes and any remaining skin. 

2. Prepare pineapple puree in a blender and add it to a pan.

3. In a open pan, heat the pineapple puree, add sugar. Stir sugar and pineapple and let it cook for 10-15 minutes till the mixture thickens, and water dries.

Depending on how much water still remains you may heat a little longer (some pineapples are more juicier). 

4. On thickening, the color changes to little darker golden yellow.

The pineapple jam is ready. Its hot, wait until it cools before storing in clean glass jar. Refrigerate in top door shelf.
