Pineapple Jam

This homemade pineapple jam uses the two ingredients named in the video: fresh pineapple and orange juice. It cooks down into a tropical spread for toast, biscuits, yogurt, or ice cream.

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh pineapple, finely chopped
• 1 cup orange juice
• Optional: 1/4 cup sugar if your pineapple is not very sweet
• Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

1. Add pineapple and orange juice to a saucepan.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
3. Cook 35 to 45 minutes, stirring often, until thick and jammy.
4. Mash the pineapple as it cooks or blend briefly for a smoother texture.
5. Taste and add sugar or lemon juice only if needed.
6. Cool and store in a jar in the refrigerator.

Mood Messy Tips

• Fresh ripe pineapple gives the best flavor.
• Stir often near the end so the jam does not stick.
• This is a refrigerator jam, not a shelf-stable canning recipe.
