I love Jams and marmalades. However, not all bottled readymade Jams have authentic fruity taste and rather many have added synthetic flavours. I get this feeling everytime I try readymade Pineapple jam and I am never satisfied with its taste. I wonder why I never thought of making it myself until last week. I thought of giving it a try and it came out awesome. It is so easy to make at home, that you will never think of buying one.
Here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:
Pineapple pieces - 4 cups
Sugar
lemon
saffron
Cardamom (optional)
Procedure:
Peel and cut the pineapple into pieces. Make sure the Pineapple is sweet. Puree them (I would prefer it to be a bit coarse). Heat the pan on low flame. Put the Pineapple puree and let it come to boil. The Puree will start thickening. Now add sugar slowly in parts and keep checking the sweetness. (avoid too much sweetness.you can add more sugar later if needed. add some saffron strands. Saffron flavor goes immensely well with that of Pineapple. It doesn't subside the taste of pineapple and one would relish the aromatic tang of saffron in jam. You can also add cardamom. Cardamom has strong flavour. I prefer without cardamom so that you can have maximum of Pineapple flavor. The Pineapple puree would become thick and translucent. Sqeeze lemon in the pan and allow it to boil again. Your Pineapple jam is ready. Cool and store in airtight container and refrigerate. Use dry spoon always.
Will upload the picture soon :)
