Here’s a simple homemade Pineapple Jam recipe—sweet, bright, and great on toast, biscuits, or desserts 🍍
Pineapple Jam
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, finely crushed (or canned, drained)
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Optional: pinch of salt or ¼ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Cook
- Add pineapple, sugar, and lemon juice to a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring often.
- Thicken
- Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer 25–35 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and glossy.
- Mash or blend slightly if you want smoother jam.
- Test
- Spoon a little onto a cold plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.

- Cool completely.
- Store in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Quick Tips
- For spiced pineapple jam, add a pinch of cinnamon or ginger.
- For chunky jam, don’t crush the pineapple too much.
- Want it thicker faster? Stir in 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water near the end.
