Pineapple Lemon Jam With Pomonas Universal Pectin Recipes

PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Peel, core, and coarsely chop pineapple. Place pineapple in a food processor and pulse 2-3 times until it's very fine, but not completely pureed. (Alternately, start with canned crushed pineapple.)
• Place pineapple in a jam pot or deep saucepan.
• For every cup of crushed pineapple, add 1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar. A medium pineapple yields about 3 cups crushed pineapple and would require 1 1/2 to 2 cups sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring to prevent scorching. Cook on high for 25 to 30 minutes until the mixture thickens.
• Ladle into prepared jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• If canning, process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude.

• Mix 3 teaspoons pectin (large envelope) with 3-cups sugar. Set aside.
• Mix 1/2 teaspoons of the calcuim (sm. envelope) with 1/2 cup water. Set aside.

• If you are short of the 6-cups, just add more wine, pineapple or lemon.
• To the fruit in the pan, add 3 teaspoons prepared calcium water. (The rest of the calcium water can be saved in a little jar for up to two months in the fridge).
• Bring to a hard boil and boil for one minute.
• Add the sugar/pectin mixture and stir vigorously for 2-minutes allowing pectin to dissolve.
• NOTE: At this point you can add an additional one-cup sugar to give the jam a longer "opened jar" refrigerator shelf life.

• Ladle into seven, sterilized half-pint jelly jars, and process only 5-mins.
