How to Make Pineapple Lime Jam

  1. Combine 5 cups chopped fresh pineapple (or 5 cups unsweetened canned pineapple), 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons lime zest, and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large saucepan. Let stand for 1 hour.
  2. After 1 hour, add 3 cups granulated sugar to the pineapple mixture.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Return the saucepan to medium-high heat and bring back to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter.
  9. Bring the mixture back to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 pouch (1.75 oz) liquid pectin.
  11. Stir constantly for 1 minute.
  12. Remove from heat and skim off any remaining foam.
  13. Let the jam cool for 5-10 minutes.
  14. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  15. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp, sterilized cloth.
  16. Apply lids and rings, tightening to fingertip tightness.
  17. Process in a boiling water bath according to your altitude (consult a canning guide for specific times).
  18. Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
