Homemade Pineapple Jam from scratch in under an hour. Spread it on toast or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or make my delicious Pineapple Pork Chops.
In a large blender or food processor, pulse the chopped pineapple until it is roughly shredded. You might need to do this in 2-3 batches. Be careful not to turn it into a smoothie!
Combine the pulsed pineapple and the rest of the ingredients in a small/medium saucepan and heat on low until all the sugar melts (start with 1.5 cups sugar, you can always add more later). Add cinnamon, if using (save the ginger for later if you want to add ginger).
Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat and let simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until it reaches a nice jam consistency, stirring frequently - it will turn more translucent the longer you cook it. If you want to add ginger, you can grate in a bit of ginger at the end. Remove from heat.
Adjusting flavor/consistency: Add more sugar and/or cinnamon if you wish. Add more water if it is too thick, or simmer longer if it is too water.
Allow to cool to room temperature, transfer to clean jars, cap, and enjoy!
Store this jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
