Best Ginger Jalapeno Pineapple Jam Recipes

PINEAPPLE JAM RECIPE WITH JALAPEñO PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine pineapple, jalapeños, and calcium water. Over medium heat, bring to simmer, stirring frequently. Cook until the pineapple softens and takes on some translucency, about 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the sugar and pectin together in a small bowl. When the pineapple mixture is adequately cooked, add the sugar/pectin mixture to simmering fruit and stir until completely dissolved, about two minutes.
• Ladle into sterilized half-pint jars leaving ¼" headspace. Wipe rims clean, and place prepared lids and rings onto jars finger-tight. Process in a water bath canner at a full rolling boil for 15 minutes.
• After processing, remove jars from canner and allow to cool on a towel for 24 hours. Before storing, check for seal. Sealed jam will keep for a year in the pantry; store opened or unsealed jars in the refrigerator.

JALAPENO GINGER JELLY

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot of simmering water, sterilize enough preserve jars to hold 48 ounces in water until you are ready to use them.
• 2. Place jalapenos, ginger and 1 cup apple cider vinegar in a blender and blend until VERY fine.
• 3. In large pot, place the mixture plus remaining vinegar and all of the sugar. Mix well and bring to full boil until mixture cannot be stirred down (about 8-12 minutes) and continue boiling for 5 minutes.
• 4. Meanwhile, Place lids and rings in large bowl and pour boiling water over them. Set aside until ready to use.
• 5. Remove jelly mixture from heat and add both pectin packets, blending between each addition. Return to heat and bring back to boil and continue boiling for an additional minute.
• 6. Remove jars from water and place on towel. Using a funnel and large ladle, transfer mixture into jars and fill just to the bottom screw band on the jar. Once all jars are full, wipe the rim of the jars to ensure a good seal. Place lids and rings on jars, tighten fingertip tight.
• 7. Place the jars back into the hot water bath for about 5-10 minutes. Remove and place back on towel, inverted, for 10 minutes. Turn jars right side up.
• 8. NOTES: DO NOT use aluminum pot for cooking jelly. DO NOT over tighten the jar rings or the seal will not take. DO NOT skip wiping the rim, even if you think you did not get any jelly on the rim. Even a tiny bit will cause the jar to not seal. Once you turn the jars upright, you will hear loud popping noises. This is normal and indicated that the jar is sealed.

PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Peel the pineapple and grate the flesh -- you should end up with about 2 cups. Put the pineapple and water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the pineapple is soft, about 35 minutes.
• Add the sugar and lime juice and stir to combine. Cook until the mixture has thickened, about 45 to 60 minutes. Spoon the jam into a 16-ounce jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

PINEAPPLE GINGER PRESERVES

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle combine the sugar and 2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and boil the syrup until it registers 220°F. on a candy thermometer. Stir in the pineapple and the gingerroot and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring to prevent scorching, for 1 hour, or until it registers 220°F. on a candy thermometer. Remove the kettle from the heat and ladle the preserves into 5 sterilized 1/2-pint Mason type jars (sterilizing procedure follows), filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Wipe the rims with a dampened towel and seal the jars with the lids. Put the jars in a water bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle, add enough hot water to the canner or kettle to cover the jars by 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Process the jars, covered, for 10 minutes, transfer them with tongs to a rack, and let them cool completely. Store the jars in a cool dark place.
• To sterilize jars and glasses for pickling and preserving:
• Wash the jars in hot suds and rinse them in scalding water. Put the jars in a kettle and cover them with hot water. Bring the water to boil, covered, and boil the jars for 15 minutes from the time that steam emerges from the kettle. Turn off the heat and let the jars stand in hot water. Just before they are to be filled invert the jars onto a kitchen towel dry. (The jars should be filled while they are still hot.) Sterilize the jar lids for 5 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
