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.
