Pineapple Balsamic Jam Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Pineapple Balsamic Vinegar 
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional, for a bit of spice)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  • Peel, core, and finely chop the fresh pineapple. You should have about 4 cups of chopped pineapple.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped pineapple, sugar, Pineapple Balsamic Vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, ginger (if using), and salt. Stir well to mix all ingredients.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
  • This should take about 20-30 minutes.
  • To test the jam, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let it sit for a minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it’s ready. If not, continue cooking and testing every few minutes.
  • Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
  • Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth and seal with sterilized lids.
  • If you plan to store the jam for a longer period, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  • If you're eating right away, let the jars cool to room temperature and then refrigerate.
Spread the Pineapple Balsamic Jam on bread, toast, use it as a glaze for meats, or mix it into yogurt for a tropical twist!
