Pineapple Jam Recipe with step by step pictures. Homemade Pineapple preserves made with no preservatives.
Pineapple Jam
Making homemade jams are always my favourite things to try at home. I don't like the thick, jelly like jam which you get in stores. They don't taste like fruit jams at all, I love the real fruits getting cooked as jam, they taste so fresh and clean.
One of my aunty makes jam from over ripe fruits which are collected at the bottom of the fruits bowls, like over ripe bananas, apples, grapes and stuff like that. Those jam taste so heavenly when made as jam sandwiches and toasted with real butter.
One of my favorite fruit jam is pineapple. They smell so heavenly and taste so yum when made into jams. I have already made tomato jam and orange jam. Theyturned out so good that i couldn't stop making a bottle of jam for myself. I love adding jams to my baking recipes too..Here are my experiments, Jam filled cupcakes and Cherry brownies.
Because of my love for homemade jams, i have tried an apple jam recipe yesterday and they were yum. Will post that soon.

Hi arthi, I'm a big fan of your blog. Yesterday I tried your pineapple jam but it turned as candy.. it became very thick.. can you say what mistake did I do?
Aarthi
You must have over cooked it. Add little more pineapple puree and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat.
