Mermelada de Piña
Mermelada de Piña (Pineapple Jam) is a sweet and tangy spread made from pineapple, sugar, and lemon juice.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 850 g ( 1 large) ripe pineapple , peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 65 ml (⅓ cup) water
- 100 g granulated sugar For a sweeter jam, add 200g to 400g of sugar
- Juice of 1 large lemon or 2 limes
Instructions
- Start by peeling, coring, and finely chopping the pineapple. Place the pineapple in a medium saucepan along with any collected juice. Add the sugar and lemon juice, then stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens, becomes glossy, and turns a light golden color, about 45 to 90 minutes.
- Using a hand blender, blend the mixture until slightly chunky. Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool completely before using. Transfer to clean glass jars, seal, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Storage: Let the jam cool completely before storing. Transfer to a clean, airtight glass jar and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Make Ahead: For longer storage, increase the sugar — use 200 g to keep it fresh for up to 3 weeks, or 400 g to make it last up to 3 months (always refrigerated in a sealed jar).
