HABANERO PINEAPPLE JAM
This is a recipe devised to use a bounty of habaneros grown by my uncle and given to me. I mixed and matched pieces from recipes found on the internet to come up with one that has these beautiful colors, flavors, and texture. I love to serve this on top of a softened block of cream cheese with butter crackers as an appetizer. It's also a great marinade/glaze (when mixed with a bit of soy sauce) for pork and chicken.

Steps:
- Drain pineapple well, reserving 1/2 cup pineapple juice.
- Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Place jars and lids on a rack in a large pot of boiling water; sterilize for about 5 minutes. Remove jars from water and place on kitchen towel or wooden board.
- Mix sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt together in an 8-quart pot and cook over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and add the pineapple, reserved pineapple juice, minced bell pepper, habanero peppers, and carrots. Bring back to a rapid boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add powdered pectin, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Let jam boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch at the top. Wipe off any spillage around the rims of the jars using a damp paper towel.
- Screw on tops and rings. Place the sealed jars back in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove jars from boiling water and place on kitchen towel or wooden board. Allow to cool completely, 12 to 24 hours. Listen for a "pop" as jars cool and seal.

PINEAPPLE-APPLE MARMALADE JAM
I was given an abundance of pineapples and did not know what to do with them, so I canned them! This marmalade sort of tastes like the bottom of a pineapple-upside-down cake. It tastes great on toasted English muffins. Hope you like it!

Steps:
- Combine pineapple, apple, sugar, orange juice, and lemon zest in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple turns translucent, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Place a few small plates in the freezer.
- Inspect 2 or 3 small Mason jars for cracks, discarding any defective ones. Sterilize jars in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes and leave in hot water until ready for use. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Add a tablespoon of marmalade to a frozen plate. Freeze for 1 minute, remove, and nudge marmalade with your finger. If the mixture stays nudged, it is ready to be canned. If it slides back, continue cooking and check for readiness every minute.
- Pack marmalade into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 to 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

PINEAPPLE-PEACH JAM
I stumbled on this when I had an excess of pineapple and peaches. The resulting jam tasted a lot like duck sauce when warm, and it makes an excellent condiment to savory meals and accompanies chicken nicely. Cold, it's also a delicious jam. Creates about 8 to 10 half-pint jars, depending on the size of your peaches and pineapple.

Tips for Making Pineapple Jam:
- Use ripe pineapples: The flavor of your jam will be best if you use ripe, juicy pineapples. Look for pineapples that are yellow or golden in color, and that have a slightly sweet smell.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the pineapple into small pieces. This will help the jam to cook more evenly.
- Use a large pot: You will need a large pot to make pineapple jam. This is because the jam will bubble up as it cooks.
- Stir the jam frequently: Stir the jam frequently as it cooks. This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Cook the jam until it reaches a thick consistency: The jam is done when it reaches a thick consistency. To test the consistency, spoon a small amount of jam onto a plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
Conclusion:
Pineapple jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It can also be used as an ingredient in other recipes, such as pies, tarts, and cookies. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own pineapple jam at home. Just follow these tips and you will be sure to end up with a delicious and flavorful jam that you can enjoy for months to come.
