Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripened pineapple ((about 4 cups))
  • 3/4 - 1 cup sugar
  • juice of 1 lime

Method

Instant Pot Method:

  1. Peel and dice a medium-sized ripened pineapple. Use a pineapple that has started turning orange/brown for an intense pineapple flavor.
  2. Add the pineapple, sugar, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the Instant Pot and stir well.
  3. Close the lid. Set the pot to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK (High Pressure) and set the timer to 8 minute s.
  4. When the instant pot beeps, do a quick release.
  5. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the fruit until the desired consistency.
  6. Bring the mixture to boil for about 8 minutes while stirring continuously until jam reaches the required gel-like consistency. The jam also will continue to thicken as it cools.
  7. Once the jam has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a jar. Yields one 16-Ounces jar of jam.

Stovetop Pot Method:

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the pineapple, sugar, and freshly squeezed lime juice and stir well until sugar is dissolved and bring it to a boil.
  2. Then simmer for 20 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the jam is thickened.
  3. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree the fruit until the desired consistency.
  4. Bring the mixture to boil again for about 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously until jam reaches the required gel-like consistency. The jam also will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Once the jam has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a jar.
