Jelly Honey: Pineapple Jelly

Pineapple Jelly

Pineapple jelly is made with pineapple, a tropical fruit that is known botanically as Native to Brazil and Paraguay, this fruit is widely cultivated in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and parts of North America.
It is possible to use fresh pineapple or preserved pineapple to make the jam; both are readily available in most supermarkets. If a fresh pineapple is used, the fruit will need to be skinned, cored and sliced. Other ingredients include sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and water. Some cooks may add a food coloring to get a bright yellow jam.
The pineapple pieces are put in a pan of water, and the pan is heated until half of the water has evaporated and the pineapple pieces have become tender. If a smooth jam is required, the pineapple pieces may be mashed or processed in a blender. The sugar is added to the pan then and stirred until it has dissolved. Lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves are added next and the mixture is cooked until the jam has thickened. This can take about 20 minutes, and it is necessary to keep stirring to keep the pineapple jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
