Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 medium (seeded and finely chopped) Fresh jalapenos
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) Pectin
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, granulated sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Add the chopped jalapenos, lemon juice, and lime juice to the mixture. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle in the pectin a little at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir until the pectin is fully dissolved.
Allow the mixture to cook for another 10–15 minutes, or until it reaches a thick, jam-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
To test the marmalade, place a small dollop on a chilled plate and allow it to cool for a minute. If it holds its shape and is no longer runny, it is ready.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the marmalade cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars. Leave about 1/4 inch of space at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. For long-term storage, process the jars in a hot water bath according to canning guidelines.
Store the marmalade in the refrigerator once opened for up to 3 weeks.
