Pineapple jam is the filling for pineapple tarts, learn how to make pineapple jam with this easy and delicious pineapple jam recipe.

Pineapple Jam

(1/2 cup) sugar, more or less to taste

cloves, optional

If you are using canned pineapple slices, drain...

If you are using canned pineapple slices, drain the pineapple slices and then squeeze the extra water/juice with your hands. Blend the canned pineapples until they are mushy, about 10 seconds. If you use fresh pineapples, remove the skin, cut into pieces and blend for 10 seconds.

Transfer the blended pineapple into a deep pan...

Transfer the blended pineapple into a deep pan (non-stick preferably). Add sugar and cloves and stir well. Cook on medium to low heat until most liquid has evaporated, and the pineapple jam turns golden in color. Stirring constantly and continuously using a wooden spoon to avoid burning. Taste, and add more sugar as needed. Remove and discard the cloves and let cool in the fridge.

sugar

lime

Peel pineapple and dice into little pieces. Makes about 4 cups.

Place pineapple, sugar and lime juice in a pot and mix.

Place pot on the fire on medium-high heat and cover. After 5 minutes, it must have started boiling, open and stir. Reduce heat to medium, let it cook for another 10 minutes then mash with potato masher. Let it cook until the liquid is jelly-like. About 15 minutes more. Turn off the heat.

Once cool, place in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep in the fridge. This could last in the fridge for up to 3 months!

This pineapple jam has natural tanginess from the fruit and enough sweetness extracted from the fruit with a small amount of added sugar.

Process the pineapple chunks in a food processor until they all become rough pulp. Take care not to let them get too smooth.

Place the pineapple pulp on a large frying pan. Turn the heat on medium-high and start cooking the pineapple.

When the pineapple reaches boiling point, you can add the sugar. I suggest you do it little by little as you taste the pineapple. Because some fruits are sweeter and some others are not. Feel free to adjust to your taste.

Keep stirring and tossing the pineapple as it...

Keep stirring and tossing the pineapple as it is cooking. It takes approximately 20-25 at medium-high heat for the liquid in pineapple to evaporate and leave the fruit sticky. Although I tend to cook a bit longer when I need the jam to make my Kue Nastar (Pineapple jam tarts).  

The drier your jam is, the more caramelized...

The drier your jam is, the more caramelized the sugar in the pineapple will be. And it creates a deep golden colour in your preserve. Turn the heat off once you’re happy with the consistency of your preserve. 

Sweet and slightly tart and full of fresh pineapple, small-batch pineapple jam needs no special canning equipment or even pectin to yield a delicious fresh jam. No pressure canning or special equipment required.

pineapple

Peel and cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks; discard the fibrous core and outer peel.

Add all ingredients into a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Do not cover.

Reduce heat simmer  over LOW  heat.  Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the pineapple is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated; Stirring occasionally. Do not Cover.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

With an immersion blender or potato masher, crush the fruit to small bite-sized (or smaller) pieces.

The natural sugars in the fruit will thicken the jam.

Store in an airtight container like a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Alternatively, freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.

Great simple recipe. Just added a sprinkle of cinnamon powder and an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar! Yummy!

Fabulous. Loved how easy this was to make!!

So simple and delish! This make about 4 cups for me.

Thank you for this! I made my first pineapple jam yesterday and it is good!

Very delicious! I will be making this again.

Pineapple Jam, or &quot;mermelada de piña&quot; in Spanish, is a sweet and tangy essence of ripe pineapples captured in a jar. Perfect for spreading on warm bolillos (Mexican rolls), as a filling for pies, sweet empanadas, or by itself. Enjoy this delightful creation that embodies the sun-soaked essence of Mexico today!

Sugar

inch Mexican cinnamon stick

tbsp Cold water

tbsp Cornstarch

First, peel and finely chop your pineapple; you can use your food processor in this step. 

Combine the chopped pineapple, granulated sugar, and cinnamon stick in a medium saucepan and simmer for about 20 minutes on medium heat with the lid on. This step will help the pineapple and sugar cook in their own juices and dissolve the sugar. 

In the meantime, mix the cold water and cornstarch and set aside. 

After the pineapple mixture has softened and thickened, add the cornstarch with water to the pot and occasionally stir so it doesn&#39;t stick to the bottom of the pan. Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the desired thickness. You should be able to see the bottom of the pot when you stir it with a spoon. See notes for more tips.

I was very happy with this recipe and will definitely be making it again in the future. I miss buying pineapple jam in the groceries stores like in Mexico.
