Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 pineapple (peeled and cored)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice ((juice from one lemon))
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instruction

  • Using a box grater, grate pineapple into small pieces. Or, chop with a knife.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add grated pineapple, granulated sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced slightly. The jam should thickly coat the back of a spoon (and will continue to thicken as it cools).
  • Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Pour into two 8 ounce jars (if freezing, leave up to 1/2 inch of space at the top of your jar for expansion when frozen), and allow to cool completely before adding lids. Store for up to 1 year in freezer, or up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
