Ingredients

2 ½ cups Frozen or fresh pineapples

1 cup Water

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white Sugar

1 tablespoon Lime zest

1 tablespoon Lime juice

1 pinch Salt

Instructions

• Place the chopped pineapple into a food processor and pulse into small pieces
• To a sauce pan add the pineapples, water sugar lime juice and salt
• Bring to a slow simmer constantly stirring
• Cook for about 35 minutes
• The liquid will reduce, and the jam will thicken
• Add the lime zest
• Cook for another 25 minutes, if is seems like it is sticking to the pot lower the heat so it does not burn
• I cooked my jam for an hour on medium low heat, alternating temps depending on how the jam was behaving
• Place the hot jam in a hot sterilized jar with a sterilized cap
• Place the cap on the jar tight and invert it for 8 to 10 minutes
• Turn the jar upright and set aside for a few hours to completely cool
• Serve with cheese, crackers and your favorite meats
• Store in the refrigerator

Greedy Tips:

• Please note that once it cools you should place it in the fridge. If you are an experienced canner and make preserves all the time, you should be able to properly can and cool so it vacuum seals and can be stored in a cupboard. My jar of jam was made for immediate use, so it was not vacuum sealed and therefore needs to be stored in a refrigerator.
