APRICOT PINEAPPLE JAM WITH PECTIN RECIPE - (4/5)



Apricot Pineapple Jam with Pectin Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups of apricots, (approximately 12 apricots, skins removed and pitted, about 4 pounds) and chopped
1 medium sized pineapple, peel and core removed (about 1 cup)
1 box pectin
6 cups sugar, divided (4 1/2 cups and 1 1/2 cups)
1 pat butter

Steps:

  • EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Water bath canning pot and rack. Clean jars, lids and rims. Clean towels, long tongs and a jar lifter (or tongs with rubber grips) Pot of water for metal lids and rims. Bowl of ice water (to remove apricot skins) PREPARE THE APRICOTS: To easily remove apricot skins, cut a small "x" at the bottom of each fruit. Gently dunk into a pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove, with a slotted spoon. Starting with the "x", peel the skins off by sliding with your thumbs. It's that easy! UPDATE: I found a faster way to peel apricots. Cut them in half, pit them and place them (face down) onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Cut an "X" on top of each apricot, with a knife. With the rack on it's highest position, broil for 5-6 minutes. Remove, allow to cool until safe to hold in your hand. Grab the skin on the "x" and pull off. Easy! Using a food processor (or by hand, if you prefer), pulse the apricots until they are chunky smooth-- not pureed. You want bits of apricot for texture. Strain the apricots and reserve the juice. PREPARE THE PINEAPPLE: NOTE: I used fresh pineapple. You could try canned, but I think fresh pineapple tastes the best. Trim the pineapple by removing the top, cutting off the shell and then cutting into quarters. Removing the core, is easier. I like to use my food processor, but you can cut the pineapple, by hand. I pulse the cut pineapple until it's fine but not pureed. Strain the pineapple, reserving the juice with the apricot juice. I ended up with about 3/4 cups juice. In a large pot, add the fruit, box of pectin and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Combine and bring to a low boil. Slowly stir in the remaining sugar. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved juice. Bring to a continuous roll, stirring frequently, so it doesn't stick. Bring to a gel stage (approximately 10 minutes). I like to chill a plate in my freezer. Spoon a little of the cooked fruit on the cold plate. Run your finger through it, and see if it separates. Let is sit a minute more and feel the texture. If it gels, it's ready. Pour into sterilized clean class jars with lids. Set the filled jars in a rack, covered by at least 2" of boiling water. Keep the pot covered and set a timer for 10 minutes, from when the water begins to rapidly boil. Remove from the pot, carefully, with a jar lifter onto a clean towel. Listen for the "pop" of the vacuum on the lids...and/or press a finger on the top. If it's firm, you have a good vacuum. If a jar is not sealed, properly, you can repeat the water bath boil method, or refrigerate this jar and eat within 2 weeks.

ANYTIME APRICOT/PINEAPPLE FREEZER JAM



Anytime Apricot/Pineapple Freezer Jam image

I love freezer jam! My mother made freezer jam every year and we had it all year long. This keeps in the freezer for 1 year. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. My Strawberry Freezer Jam is a basic recipe but my Apricot Pineapple Freezer jam is one you can make all year round and still get that fresh homemade flavor....

Provided by Tammy T

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 can(s) 15 oz each, unpeeled apricot halves in heavy syrup, drained well
1 can(s) 8 oz can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 Tbsp delallo lemon juice (bottled lemon juice)
4 c sugar
3/4 c water
1 box 1.75 oz sure-jell original premium fruit pectin (yellow box)

Steps:

  • 1. First: clean and wash your jars your using in hot soapy water and let dry thoroughly. Get together all ingredients as once you get started, it all goes pretty fast.
  • 2. Chop your drained apricots to small chunk sizes. If some come out mashed, its ok. It will all taste good. Important: Measure exactly 1 &1/2 cups of the chopped apricots and add it into a bowl for mixing ( you will have some of the canned fruit left over but you can use it for something else)
  • 3. Add the can of pineapple with the juice into the bowl with the apricots. Add the lemon juice to the bowl. Mix well.
  • 4. Stir in the sugar and let stand for 10 minutes. It is important you let it stand. Stir it occasionally.
  • 5. Mix the water and the pectin in a small pan and bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Once it boils, let it boil for 1 minute. Take off the stove and pour it into the bowl with the fruit mixture. Stir in well so that all the sugar is dissolved and mixed. It will start to thicken. Immediately fill your jars to about a half inch from the top. Clean off your jars with a clean wet cloth - especially around the top outside rings so that the lid does not get stuck when you go to open the jar. Apply the lids. Let the jars stand on a counter or table for 24 hours. Then put in the freezer to keep. When you take a jar out, let it thaw in the refrigerator, stir it the first time you open it and enjoy!
  • 6. Note**** I learned through the Cooks Cooking show that for jams or jellies, it is best to use bottled lemon juice rather than fresh lemon juice because of the acidity of fresh lemons can not be known as it varies for each lemon so it is best to use the bottled version.

Apricot pineapple jam is a fruit preserve made with apricots and pineapples. This combination of fruits creates a unique and delicious flavor that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, or as filling in cakes and pastries. Making jam at home is a great way to enjoy seasonal fruits year-round, and this recipe can be customized to suit personal preferences for sweetness and texture.

Ingredients

Apricots
Apricots are the main ingredient in apricot pineapple jam. Choose ripe, firm apricots that are free of bruises or blemishes. The fruit should give slightly when gently pressed with your fingers, but not be mushy. The fresher the apricots, the better the jam will taste.
Pineapples
Pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the jam. Use fresh pineapple that is ripe but not overly soft. Pineapple can be tough to chop, so it's best to use a sharp knife or a food processor to cut it into small pieces.
Sugar
Sugar is needed to sweeten and preserve the jam. Use granulated white sugar or a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. The amount of sugar needed will depend on personal preference and the ripeness of the fruit.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the jam and prevent it from becoming too thick. Use fresh lemon juice for best results.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Wash and dry the apricots and pineapples. Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Chop the fruit into small, even-sized pieces. If using a food processor, pulse until desired consistency is reached.
Step 2: Cook the Fruit
Place the chopped fruit in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add sugar and lemon juice and stir to combine. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3: Simmer the Jam
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the jam to simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer. Remove any foam that forms on the surface.
Step 4: Test for Doneness
To test if the jam is done, place a small spoonful on a plate and let it cool for a few minutes. If the jam sets and wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it is ready. If it is too runny, continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Step 5: Store the Jam
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal with lids. Store in the fridge for up to 6-8 months.

Conclusion

Apricot pineapple jam is a tasty and versatile fruit preserve that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Making jam at home is a simple and satisfying process, and this recipe can be adjusted to suit personal preferences for flavor and texture. Whether spread on toast, baked into pastries, or eaten straight from the jar, apricot pineapple jam is sure to delight your taste buds.
Apricot pineapple jam is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a gift. It is an ideal way to use up any extra apricots and pineapples that you may have. However, making jam can be a bit tricky if you don't know how to do it properly. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips to make delicious apricot pineapple jam recipes.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Fruit

The first step in making apricot pineapple jam is to choose the right fruit. It is important to select fruits that are ripe and fresh. If the fruit is too ripe, it may not hold up during the cooking process, resulting in a jam that is too thin. If the fruit is not ripe enough, it may not contain enough pectin, which is essential for the thickening of the jam.
Apricot Selection
When choosing apricots, look for fruit that is fragrant, firm, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid apricots that are too hard or too soft.
Pineapple Selection
When choosing pineapples, look for ones with bright green leaves and a firm, golden-yellow skin. Avoid pineapples that are bruised, have brown spots, or have a sour smell.

Tip 2: Prepare the Fruit Properly

Once you have selected the right fruit for your apricot pineapple jam recipe, it is important to prepare it properly. You should wash the fruit thoroughly and remove any stems, leaves, or other debris. Then, you should peel, core, and dice the pineapples and apricots.
Peeling Pineapples
To peel a pineapple, cut off the top and bottom with a sharp knife. Then, stand the pineapple upright and carefully cut away the skin from top to bottom, following the contour of the fruit.
Removing Apricot Pits
To remove the pit from an apricot, cut it in half and twist the two halves to separate them. Then, use a small knife to remove the pit.

Tip 3: Use the Right Equipment

Using the right equipment is essential for making apricot pineapple jam. You will need a large non-reactive cooking pot or Dutch oven, a canning funnel, a ladle, and canning jars with lids and rings.
Choosing a Cooking Pot
The pot you use should be large enough to hold all of the fruit and sugar, as well as have enough space for the jam to boil without boiling over. A non-reactive pot, such as stainless steel or enamel-coated cast iron, is recommended to prevent any metal taste in the jam.
Canning Funnel and Ladle
A canning funnel and ladle will help you to fill the jars with the hot jam easily and safely.
Canning Jars
Mason jars are the most common canning jars, but any jar with a tight-fitting lid and ring will work. Make sure the jars and lids are clean and sterilized before using.

Tip 4: Follow the Recipe Exactly

Making jam is a precise process that requires exact measurements and timing. It is important to follow the recipe exactly, including the amount of fruit, sugar, and pectin, as well as the cooking time and temperature.
Measuring Ingredients
Precise measurements of fruit, sugar, and pectin are necessary for a successful recipe. Use a kitchen scale to measure the fruit and sugar accurately. Be sure to level off the cups or spoons when measuring.
Cooking Time and Temperature
Cook the jam on medium-high heat until it reaches the desired setting point. The setting point is the temperature at which the jam thickens and sets. Using a candy thermometer can help ensure accurate cooking temperature.

Tip 5: Sterilize Your Jars and Lids

Sterilizing your jars and lids is a critical step in the canning process. This is done to kill any bacteria or yeast that may be present in the jars. To sterilize your jars and lids, wash them in hot soapy water, rinse them well, and then place them in a large pot of boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
Filling Jars Properly
Once the jam is cooked, use a canning funnel and ladle to fill the jars with the hot jam. Fill the jars, leaving a 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp cloth to remove any jam residue, and then place the lids and rings on the jars.

Conclusion

In summary, making apricot pineapple jam is easy and fun, but it requires attention to detail and precision. The tips mentioned above will help you make delicious apricot pineapple jam recipes that are thick, fragrant, and tasty. By choosing the right fruit, preparing it properly, using the right equipment, following the recipe exactly, and sterilizing your jars and lids, you can ensure that your apricot pineapple jam will be a success.
