PINEAPPLE JAM - CANNING RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

Place the pineapple/juice mixture into a pot with the butter and the pectin. Bring this to a full boil, then add the sugar all at once. Mix to help dissolve the sugar. When this has reached a full rolling boil, time it for 1 full minute, then turn off the heat. Skim any foam that may have gathered on top. Ladle the jam into hot jars. Place the top on, then the band, screwing down to a fingertip-tight hold. Process for 10 minutes, leave them in the pot for 5 minutes, then let them cool in a draft-free place.
