Pineapple Marmalade Recipes

ORANGE PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Rinse four 1-cup plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly., Grate outer zest from oranges and set aside. Peel off and discard white membrane from oranges and section the fruit; discard any seeds. In a food processor, combine orange zest and orange sections; cover and process until orange is in small pieces., In a wide-bottomed microwave-safe 2-1/2-qt. bowl, combine the pineapple, sugar, lemon juice and orange mixture. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes; stir. Heat 2 minutes longer (edges will be bubbly); stir. Microwave for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until mixture is bubbly in center; stir. Heat 2 minutes longer; stir. Cool for 10 minutes., Immediately fill all containers to within 1/2 in. of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. , Cover and let stand at room temperature 4 hours. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year. Thaw frozen marmalade in refrigerator before serving.

PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Inspect a jar for cracks and rings for rust. Immerse in simmering water until pineapple marmalade is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
• Coarsely blend pineapple in a blender. Set aside.
• Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Spoon pineapple marmalade into hot sterile jars and seal. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.

TANGY PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks. You should have about 5 cups of fruit. Place the pineapple chunks into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you reach a texture that would be equivalent to roughly shredded.
• Combine pineapple, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest in a deep saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until most of the juice has evaporated, and you reach a marmalade consistency, 50 to 60 minutes. Stir in the horseradish, and if necessary, adjust seasoning to suit your taste.
• Allow marmalade to completely cool and store in the fridge in a covered jar. The marmalade will firm up as it chills.

PINEAPPLE JALAPENO MARMALADE

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and jalapenos in medium saucepan.
• Bring mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
• Remove from heat and cool before serving.
• Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 6 months.

HAM SLIDERS WITH SWEET-AND-SOUR PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Whisk the orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the pineapple, red onion and jalapeno. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, 15 to 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• Divide the ham among the buns. Top with the pineapple marmalade.

MINTED PINEAPPLE-LIME MARMALADE

Steps:

• Peel and core the pineapples. Seed the limes, if necessary. Grind the pineapple with the limes in a meat grinder, using the coarsest blade. Put in a large pot with the sugar. Tie the bunch of mint securely, add to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn heat low, cover the pot and simmer for 1/2 hour, or until the fruits and rind are tender. Uncover, turn up the heat and boil vigorously until the mixture thickens and the juices become syrupy. Remove from heat, discard the bunch of mint, stir in the crème de menthe and the chopped mint leaves and pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with a thin layer of paraffin. When the paraffin has hardened, cover the glasses and store.

GRAPEFRUIT AND PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Pare pineapple and shred.
• Cut grapefruit and lemon into quarters, then thin slices (remove any seeds).
• Measure fruit and add 3 pints of water for each pint of fruit.
• Set aside until the next day.
• Cook approximately 3 hours, or until rind is tender.
• Set aside until the next day.
• Measure and add an equal amount of sugar.
• Bring to the boil and cook until 223F or jelly "sheets" off the spoon (dip a cold spoon into the boiling liquid for only an instant, if 2 drops run together as they drop forming a sheet, the jelly stage has been reached).
• Fill in sterilized jars and seal.

DEBORAH'S ORANGE PINEAPPLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Thinly slice oranges in a mandolin or salad slicer (if there are big chunks, slice them thinly with a knife), also do this with the lemon, removing any seeds. Put slices in a big pot and add pineapple and water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a rapid simmer and cook, stirring frequently, for 40 minutes or until the fruit is very soft.
• While the fruit is cooking, prepare your jars and lids, sterilizing all tools. Place a plate in the freezer, you will test a drop of jam on it later.
• Add the sugar and stir frequently until it reaches 222-223 degrees, or about 40-45 minutes. It should be thick and a darker color. Take out plate from freezer and put a small spoonful of jam on it, let sit for 30 seconds. Tilt the plate and if it's runny, it's not set and needs to be boiled longer. If it barely moves and is a thick gel, the jam is ready to be canned.
• Put hot jam into hot, sterilized jars. Put on lids and rings, put in a boiling bath for 10-15 minutes. Sit on rack or thick towel to cool and make sure all the tops are firmly sealed down, with no bump in the middle. Enjoy!

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 MARMALADE

Steps:

• Cut the pineapple into 1/4- to 1/2-inch (6-mm to 1.5-cm) cubes. Cut the orange, unpeeled, into quarters. Slice each quarter as thinly as possible, then chop the slices into 1/4-inch (6-mm) bits.
• Put the chopped pineapple and orange in a large pot or a Dutch oven. Add the water, bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
• To finish the marmalade, add the sugar to the pineapple mixture, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the mixture reaches the jelling point (use the wrinkle test, right, to judge when it's done).
• Stir in the candied ginger and rum, then ladle the marmalade into clean jars. Cover tightly, let cool, and refrigerate.
• Storage
• The marmalade will keep for at least 6 months in the refrigerator.
• the wrinkle test
• The sugar, moisture, and pectin content of fresh fruits is so variable that it's difficult to know exactly how long jam or marmalade must cook in order to gel. In my recipes, I shy away from giving cooking times because I don't want anyone setting the kitchen timer and walking away from a pot of simmering fruit only to come back to an unfortunate surprise. Rather than rely on cooking times and candy thermometers, I use the "wrinkle test" to test jams and marmalades. You'll need a cold plate for testing the preserves with the wrinkle test, so be sure to put one in the freezer before you start cooking.
• In most cases, it'll appear that not much is happening until 15 or 20 minutes into cooking. Then, the bubbles will get larger; this is when you should be more vigilant and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing is sticking. When the juices become a thick, heavy syrup and the fruit mounds a bit is the point at which you should start checking for doneness using the wrinkle test: Turn off the heat and put a little spoonful of the preserves on the chilled plate. Return the plate to the freezer and, after a few minutes, nudge the jam with your finger. If it wrinkles, it's ready.
• If you'd prefer to use a candy thermometer, jam and marmalades set at about 220°F (105°C). Always clip the thermometer to the pot before cooking begins to avoid breakage that can result from temperature shock.

PEAR MARMALADE

Steps:

• In a food processor, cover and process pears in batches until pureed. Measure out enough pears to make 2-1/2 cups. In a Dutch oven, combine the pineapple, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest and pears. Stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly., Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Ladle into jars or freezer containers and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour., Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 12 months.
