Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pineapple (, peeled, cored, and chopped into ~1-2 inch pieces)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1.5-2 cups sugar (, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice ((from 1/2 lemon))
  • Optional: a few pinches of cinnamon or few slices of fresh ginger (, to taste)

Instruction

  • In a large blender or food processor, pulse the chopped pineapple until it is roughly shredded. You might need to do this in 2-3 batches. Be careful not to turn it into a smoothie!
  • Combine the pulsed pineapple and the rest of the ingredients in a small/medium saucepan and heat on low until all the sugar melts (start with 1.5 cups sugar, you can always add more later). Add cinnamon or ginger, if using.
  • Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat and let simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until it reaches a nice jam consistency, stirring frequently - it will turn more translucent the longer you cook it. Remove from heat. Add more sugar and/or cinnamon if you wish.Allow to cool and store in the fridge in a covered jar for up to 3 months.
