Homemade Pineapple and Apple Jam

I love organic molasses sugar and would use it whenever possible. For this jam, no exception! Enjoyed seeing my family spread it on bread (especially homemade bread) or sometimes they just taste it as its own. No preservative, no coloring, no pectin is added. I use Very simple ingredient and easy method...
Ingredients:




2kg Ripe Pineapple

600g Green Apple400-500g

Organic Molasses Sugar (or normal castor sugar)

6nos Clove

1-2"length Cinnamon Stick Method:

1. Peeled, cored, and cut apples into small dice/cube.

2. Blend pineapple into desired texture.

3. Combine dice apple, blended pineapple, clove, and cinnamon stick in a large, heavy-based, deep saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until pineapple is soft.

4. Add sugar and stir gently until sugar is dissolved completely.

5. Continue simmer, stir from time to time, for 45 minutes or until jam jells when tested.

6. Leave jam to cool down, remove clove and cinnamon. Then pour jam into warm sterilised jars/bottles to store. Points I followed:

- Adjust sugar amount based on the sweetness of pineapple and apple.


- Store jam in the refrigerator when its completely cool down. If leave at room temperature, mould may growth, around the 5th day.
