Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups fresh pineapple diced into ¼ to ½ inch size pieces
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Mix diced pineapple, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then reduce heat to between medium-low and medium, stirring occasionally.
  • Continue cooking and stirring occasionally for about 30-35 minutes or until liquid is reduced and fruit is golden in color.
  • Remove from heat. If a smoother consistency is desired mash with a potato masher or blend with immersion blender. Allow to cool before placing in jars.
  • Cover and refrigerate for up to 3-4 weeks.

Notes

  • Fruit may be left in chunky diced pieces or blended afterwards with potato masher or immersion blender if a smoother consistency is desired.
  • 5.5-6 cups of diced pineapple will yield approximately enough preserves for two 8 ounce jars.
