Award Winning Pineapple Preserves

Fantastic recipe. So much nicer than the store bought version. This one is *packed* with bits of pineapple, unlike it's commercial counterpart. So easy too. What's not to love about this one. Great find Cookie! UPDATE Aug 18/08: I'm happy to say that I entered this recipe in the local fair and won First Place. I did add some Orange Zest, and it made an amazing jam even tastier...if that's at all possible. Thanks again Cookie!!!!

Very good recipe! The only thing I did different was I pureed a can of sliced pineapple and to that I added 1 teaspoon of finely diced ginger and it was perfect. I loved this, it is a definate keeper. Thank you for the recipe.

I just happened to have a can of crushed pineapple in the house when I read the recipe. I immediately gathered my canning utensils and set out to make this preserve. I added some lemon zest - didn't have any oranges - and a dash of rum. Delicious and super easy to make. Thank you, cookiedog, for posting, this is a great recipe!

Yum! This could be addictive. I added a Tbsp. of fresh grated ginger to the pot to add a little spunk. I had a little extra when I finished filling the jars. That became "mine". I used a little of the syrup in an apple salad I was making for lunch. That was a good addition. Then I wondered if it could be used to flavor water for drinking rather than soft drinks. Only took a couple of teaspoons to make a nice flavored water.

Make these preserves! Oh so easy and so good. I mixed some with soy sause and horseradish and dipped cooked cold shrimp in it. I could eat this stuff on sneakers. Thank you!

Hope I never run out of my pineapple preserve making DNA. I shouldn't have to worry because they'd probably sell more at Wal-Mart. Made for Farm Cooking Tag.

I loved this recipe! EZ Breezy! I am a "jellist" lol I entered 10 items (jellies, jams, preserves) at our county fair this year. I won 7 blue ribbons and 1 -2nd place. I will definitely enter this next year. And like one poster suggested I may add some cinnamon.

WOW! What a fantastic find! I haven't been able to find pineapple preserves in Australia but now I don't even need to try. I did add about 1 tablespoon of cornflour (cornstarch) to a large drained, pureed tin of pineapple rings. I also cooked my jam in my bread maker on Jam setting. Tonight we had this in Aloha Chicken Wings

REALLY REALLY GOOD. and sooooooo easy. My husband has always like Pineapple jelly and it is not easy to find in the stores. I ran across this and have not looked back. I think I have made about 6 jars of this stuff, we only have about a 1/2 of one left. He eats it on everything.

Excellent and so easy. Loved that the recipe made just two half pint jars, plus a couple of tablespoons leftover to eat right away. Very thick, lots of fruit, and none of that yucky high fructose corn syrup found in commercial varieties. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Very easy and a great find! I went to 3 stores looking for pineapple preserves, and finally decided it would be easier to make it myself! Thanks for the Empanadas recipe link as well.. I went ahead and made those, too! (Very yummy as well).

This was great! So easy to make and just wonderful. As I was making it my mom walked in the kitchen and she told me that when she was younger she used to do all sorts of preserves. She said that this was the way they did it and that they also just added about a teaspoon of corn starch when bringng the pineapple and sugar to a boil. That will help thicken the jelly like consistancy!

This was wonderful. When I make my apricot jam I also add in crushed pineapple.
