It's always fun to pick the freshest fruits and make them into my own jam. When the jam is bubbling on the stove, it produces a sweet, pleasant aroma all around the house. It is also very satisfying to savor the taste of seasonal fruits year round. In last strawberry season, I made jam twice and it supplied enough for breakfast for half of the year.
This was my first attempt at making pineapple jam. It was awesome. I used it not only to spread on bread, but also for the filling in a bread recipe I created. I am also planing to make a pineapple jam tart soon.
Ingredients:
2 medium ripe fresh pineapple, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
1/8 tsp cinnamon powder
1/8 tsp ground cloves
Method:
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients. Simmer about 55~60 minutes or until thickened over medium heat, stirring frequently. Skim off any foam. Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.

Pineapple Jam looks good. I am going to make this today. Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, I am going to use cloves and star of anise.
