Pineapple Lemon Jam With Pomonas Universal Pectin Recipes

PINEAPPLE LEMON JAM (WITH POMONA'S UNIVERSAL PECTIN)

Steps:

• Prepare Pectin:.
• Mix 3 teaspoons pectin (large envelope) with 3-cups sugar. Set aside.
• Mix 1/2 teaspoons of the calcuim (sm. envelope) with 1/2 cup water. Set aside.
• Scrub then peel the lemons.
• Put the peels in a small sauce pan. Cover with water and simmer for 20-minutes or until the peel can be pierced with a fork. Drain, rinse, cool and chop the peel.
• Remove the excess white pith from the peeled lemons.
• Cut the peeled lemons in quarters. Slice out the white center membrane and discard.
• Puree the peeled lemons in a food processor.
• Into a heavy saucepan, measure 1 teaspoons butter, 2-cups lemon puree, 1-cup chopped peel, 2-cups undrained, crushed pineapple, and 1-cup of wine (for a total of 6-cups).
• If you are short of the 6-cups, just add more wine, pineapple or lemon.
• To the fruit in the pan, add 3 teaspoons prepared calcium water. (The rest of the calcium water can be saved in a little jar for up to two months in the fridge).
• Bring to a hard boil and boil for one minute.
• Add the sugar/pectin mixture and stir vigorously for 2-minutes allowing pectin to dissolve.
• NOTE: At this point you can add an additional one-cup sugar to give the jam a longer "opened jar" refrigerator shelf life.
• Bring back to a boil and boil hard for one minute. Skim foam if necessary.
• Ladle into seven, sterilized half-pint jelly jars, and process only 5-mins.
