    How about something sweet for the weekend? This Pineapple Jam hits all the spots! Sweet, fruity, with a jelly-like consistency. I will eat the whole thing off the jar if I could. But my kids are watching so I will be a great example and enjoy the Pineapple Jam a little at a time.

    Homemade Pineapple Jam in a jar

    I loathe storebought jam! In fact, I don't think I have ever bought jam from a store in my life. And that because the sugar content is ridiculously high. I hate to eat anything and feel my teeth responding to the high sugar content.

    That's why I always make my own jam at home. Check out my Mixed Berry Jam and my Healthy Strawberry Jam. As with my other jam recipes, this Pineapple Jam has no pectin.

    Pectin is a thickening agent used in jam recipes. I often find that my jam thickens well without pectin. So this is a pineapple jam recipe without pectin. Which means fewer ingredients and less stress!

    HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE JAM

    1. Peel and dice a pineapple. Preferably use a pineapple that has started turning brown/orange for an intense pineapple flavor.

    2. Place pineapple in a pot with granulated sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice.

    3. Mix all the ingredients together and bring them to a boil then let them simmer while you stir from time to time until the mixture becomes jelly-like.

    Texture of Homemade Chunky Jam

    Now note that my Pineapple Jam is chunky. I asked my kids if they wanted it smooth or chunky and they said they wanted it chunky! For a smoother jam, grate the pineapple instead of dicing it. Every other procedure remains the same.

    WHAT TO EAT WITH PINEAPPLE JAM

    You can serve this pineapple jam with a whole lot of things! Like:

    • Bread
    • Crepes
    • Pancakes
    • Banana Bread

    Pineapple Jam will last for up to 3 months in the fridge. If you can it, it could even last longer.

    I really hope you try this Pineapple Jam, friends. It is:

    • Loaded with pineapple flavor
    • Sweet
    • Not tangy at all!
    • So fruity!
