How to Make Lemon Pineapple Jam

  1. Scrub lemons thoroughly, then peel using a vegetable peeler. Set aside.
  2. Place lemon peels in a small saucepan. Cover with water and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
  3. Drain peels, rinse with cool water, and chop finely. Set aside.
  4. Remove the thick white pith from the peeled lemons.
  5. Cut peeled lemons into quarters and remove any remaining white membranes, discarding them.
  6. Puree the peeled lemon quarters in a food processor until smooth.
  7. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups lemon puree, 1 cup chopped lemon peel, and 2 cups undrained crushed pineapple.
  8. Stir in the water (or wine).
  9. Gradually whisk in the powdered pectin, ensuring no lumps form.
  10. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring constantly.
  11. Immediately stir in the butter and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  12. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Stir until completely dissolved.
  13. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  14. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  15. Ladle the hot jam into seven sterilized half-pint jelly jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  16. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude – check a canning guide for specifics).
