Pineapple jam – Caribbean

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight

3. Remove from the stove, skim off any foam and let the jam cool.
4. In the meantime, pasteurize your jam jars by boiling them at 100°Celsius.
5. In order to can and seal your jams the proper way, pour the cool preparation in your pasteurized jars while leaving some head space, cover them and put them upside down.
Tips:
6. The preparation will undergo long cooking over a low fire, so use a pot with a thick surface
7. Let the fruits macerate for 24 hours;
8. Avoid boiling your preparation as it will lead to your jam being overcooked or burned.
