How to Make Pineapple Jalapeno Marmalade

  1. Combine 4 cups diced pineapple, 3 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, ½ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 2-3 jalapenos, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the marmalade thickens and reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger). Stir frequently to prevent scorching and burning.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  5. Once cooled, transfer the marmalade to sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 6 months.
