Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (1.75-ounce) box powdered fruit pectin
- 5 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Peel and core the fresh pineapple, then cut it into chunks.
- Add the pineapple to a food processor or blender and pulse until very finely chopped, ensuring not to completely puree it into juice.
- Measure 4 cups of prepared pineapple and place it in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add the lemon juice and powdered pectin. Stir until well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Once boiling, add all 5 cups of sugar at once and stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
- Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly, or follow the boiling time suggested by your pectin brand.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any surface foam with a spoon if it has formed.
- Ladle the hot pineapple jelly into clean, prepared jars, leaving space at the top.
- Allow the jars to cool, letting the jelly thicken as it cools, which may take 24–48 hours.
- Store in the refrigerator unless processing using a tested water-bath canning method.
