Time 1h10m

Yield 3 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups juice (2 medium fully ripe pineapples, see directions below)

  • Drain jars well before filling.
  • PARE and finely chop or grind pineapples. I prefer grinding because it releases the juices better.
  • Place 3 layers of damp cheesecloth or jelly bag in large strainer over bowl.
  • Pour prepared fruit into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closedand let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently.
  • Measure exactly 3 cups juice into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. You should have enough juice, but if you don't you can add up to 1/2 cup water, or unsweetened canned pineapple juice.
  • Add finely ground peppers to juice.
  • STIR sugar into juice in saucepot.
  • Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired.
  • Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.

  • Remove from heat & skim off any foam with metal spoon.
  • LADLE quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads.
  • Cover with two-piece lids.
  • Screw bands tightly.
  • Place jars in a water bath canner, water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; add boiling water if needed.
  • Cover; bring water to gentle boil & process 5 minutes.
  • Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely.

Time 40m

Yield 6 (1/2 pints)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 red jalapeno chiles (seeds removed if desired)
4 -6 habanero peppers (seeds removed if desired)
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon butter (to prevent foaming)
2 (3 fluid ounce) envelopes liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Sterilize jars and lids according to safe canning practices.
  • Place peppers in a blender with the apple cider vinegar and pulse until peppers are minced.
  • Pour the pepper-vinegar mixture into a saucepan. Add sugar, pineapple juice, salt and butter. Stir well until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
  • Add the liquid pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down with a spoon. Boil for 1 full minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Skim off any foam. Ladle jam into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8-inch of the top. Wipe jar rims and threads with a clean cloth or paper towel. Carefully place the flat lid on the glass rim; screw on the band. Place jars on elevated canner rack. Lower rack into canner. Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; add more boiling water if needed. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. Process the jars for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the jars from the canner and sit them on a dishcloth on the counter. After jars cool, check seals by pressing the middle of the lid with your finger. If the lid springs back, the lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.

Tips:

  • Select ripe pineapples: Use ripe pineapples that are fragrant and have a slight give when pressed gently.
  • Use fresh juice: Freshly squeezed pineapple juice delivers the best flavor. If using canned pineapple juice, choose one that is unsweetened and has no added flavors.
  • Add lemon juice: Lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the pineapple and enhances its flavor.
  • Use a combination of sweeteners: Sugar and honey work well together to create a well-rounded sweetness in the jelly.
  • Boil the mixture to the correct consistency: The jelly should reach a temperature of 220°F (104°C) to ensure it sets properly.
  • Pour the jelly into sterilized jars: Sterilizing the jars helps to prevent contamination and ensures the jelly can be stored safely.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath: This step is crucial for preserving the jelly and ensuring its safety for long-term storage.
