Pineapple Ginger Preserves Recipes

AWARD WINNING PINEAPPLE PRESERVES

Steps:

• Bring pineapple and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan and cook 20 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened or until the temperature reaches 220F on a thermometer (this is the jelling stage at sea level).
• Pour immediately into hot sterilized jars; wipe rims with a clean cloth, place lids and screw on bands fingertip-tight.
• Process jars in a water-bath canner for 5 minutes.
• Place jars on a clean towel.
• Cover with towel to prevent drafts and let cool undisturbed for 24 hours.

PINEAPPLE GINGER PRESERVES

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle, combine the sugar and water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved; boil until it registers 220F on a candy thermometer.
• Stir in the pineapple and the ginger; simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring to prevent scorching for 1 hour, or until it registers 220 F on a candy thermometer.
• Remove the kettle from the heat and ladle the preserves into 5 sterilized 1/2-pint jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the tops.
• Wipe the rims with a dampened towel and seal the jars with the lids.
• Screw on bands finger-tight.
• Put the jars in a water bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle.
• Add enough hot water to the canner or kettle to cover the jars by 2 inches, and bring it to a boil.
• Process the jars, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Transfer them with tongs to a rack or countertop protected with a heat-resistant mat, and let them cool completely.
• Store the jars in a cool dark place.

PINEAPPLE GINGER JUICE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a blender, simply blend the pineapple and ginger with the water until all the ingredients are pureed.
• If you have a smaller blender, you can simply split the split the blended ingredients into two batches. Since the juice is going to be mixed together anyway, it does not matter if you split them evenly.
• Strain the juice into a clean container with a fine mesh strainer, cheese cloth or better yet, a nut milk bag.
• Into the strained juice, squeeze the lime juice, making sure to catch the seeds and stir.
• Serve the juice chilled.

PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the pineapple and sugar to a boil.
• Boil for 20 minutes, stirring often, until the jam is thickened.
• Pour into a clean 8 oz jar.

INSTANT POT PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Start by making an even-as-you-can cut across the top, to remove it. As you can see in the video
• Place the hollow part of the pineapple corer over the core.
• Once in place, begin turning clockwise while pushing down until you get to the bottom of the pineapple
• Once in place, begin turning clockwise while pushing down until you get to the bottom of the pineapple
• Grip the handle and press the black buttons (there's one on either side) and pull up.
• Add the pineapple rings in the Instant pot . Add the grated ginger, lime juice and honey .
• Close the lid and turn the valve in a Sealing position. Press the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" button and set the time for 10 minutes on High pressure.
• When its done , quick release the steam. Open the lid and use a high speed immersion blender to make a puree
• Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot and let the pineapple jam cook and thicken . Keep stirring, until thickened to your desired consistency it will take about 10 minutes

EASY PINEAPPLE JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large blender or food processor, pulse the chopped pineapple until it is roughly shredded. You might need to do this in 2-3 batches. Be careful not to turn it into a smoothie!
• Combine the pulsed pineapple and the rest of the ingredients in a small/medium saucepan and heat on low until all the sugar melts (start with 1.5 cups sugar, you can always add more later). Add cinnamon or ginger, if using.
• Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat and let simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until it reaches a nice jam consistency, stirring frequently - it will turn more translucent the longer you cook it. Remove from heat. Add more sugar and/or cinnamon if you wish.Allow to cool and store in the fridge in a covered jar for up to 3 months.

PINEAPPLE GINGER PRESERVES

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle combine the sugar and 2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and boil the syrup until it registers 220°F. on a candy thermometer. Stir in the pineapple and the gingerroot and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring to prevent scorching, for 1 hour, or until it registers 220°F. on a candy thermometer. Remove the kettle from the heat and ladle the preserves into 5 sterilized 1/2-pint Mason type jars (sterilizing procedure follows), filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Wipe the rims with a dampened towel and seal the jars with the lids. Put the jars in a water bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle, add enough hot water to the canner or kettle to cover the jars by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Process the jars, covered, for 10 minutes, transfer them with tongs to a rack, and let them cool completely. Store the jars in a cool dark place.
• To sterilize jars and glasses for pickling and preserving:
• Wash the jars in hot suds and rinse them in scalding water. Put the jars in a kettle and cover them with hot water. Bring the water to boil, covered, and boil the jars for 15 minutes from the time that steam emerges from the kettle. Turn off the heat and let the jars stand in hot water. Just before they are to be filled invert the jars onto a kitchen towel dry. (The jars should be filled while they are still hot.) Sterilize the jar lids for 5 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

PINEAPPLE-GINGER MARMALADE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 1/4- to 1/2-inch (6-mm to 1.5-cm) cubes. Cut the orange, unpeeled, into quarters. Slice each quarter as thinly as possible, then chop the slices into 1/4-inch (6-mm) bits.
• Put the chopped pineapple and orange in a large pot or a Dutch oven. Add the water, bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
• To finish the marmalade, add the sugar to the pineapple mixture, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the mixture reaches the jelling point (use the wrinkle test, right, to judge when it's done).
• Stir in the candied ginger and rum, then ladle the marmalade into clean jars. Cover tightly, let cool, and refrigerate.
• Storage
• The marmalade will keep for at least 6 months in the refrigerator.
• the wrinkle test
• The sugar, moisture, and pectin content of fresh fruits is so variable that it's difficult to know exactly how long jam or marmalade must cook in order to gel. In my recipes, I shy away from giving cooking times because I don't want anyone setting the kitchen timer and walking away from a pot of simmering fruit only to come back to an unfortunate surprise. Rather than rely on cooking times and candy thermometers, I use the "wrinkle test" to test jams and marmalades. You'll need a cold plate for testing the preserves with the wrinkle test, so be sure to put one in the freezer before you start cooking.
• In most cases, it'll appear that not much is happening until 15 or 20 minutes into cooking. Then, the bubbles will get larger; this is when you should be more vigilant and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing is sticking. When the juices become a thick, heavy syrup and the fruit mounds a bit is the point at which you should start checking for doneness using the wrinkle test: Turn off the heat and put a little spoonful of the preserves on the chilled plate. Return the plate to the freezer and, after a few minutes, nudge the jam with your finger. If it wrinkles, it's ready.
• If you'd prefer to use a candy thermometer, jam and marmalades set at about 220°F (105°C). Always clip the thermometer to the pot before cooking begins to avoid breakage that can result from temperature shock.

HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• off the top pineapple leaves. Rinse and scrub the pineapple rind. Cut rind away from pineapple and remove most of the brown spots, the pineapple eyes.
• pineapple into fairly fine pieces. Pineapple doesn't break down in cooking, so chop it or give it several pulses in a food processor or blender.
• The jam is great on it's own, but if you want, add a star anise, crystallized ginger, cinnamon stick, or vanilla.
• pineapple in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until juice evaporates and pineapple smells toasted or caramelized. Let cool. Spoon into jar. Store in the refrigerator.
