Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh pineapple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
- 400 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 lime Lime zest (from 1 lime)
- 120 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and finely dicing it into small, even pieces. Measure 500 grams for the recipe.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Continue cooking for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. You can test for doneness by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it's ready.
Step 6
Once the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully spoon the jam into sterilized jars while still warm, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly with their lids.
Step 8
Allow the jars to cool fully at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months, or process the jars in a water bath for longer shelf life.
