Pineapple Preserves
Recipe courtesy of Cookiedog- RecipeZaar

20 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
2 cups granulated sugar


1- Bring pineapple and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan and cook 20 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened or until the temperature reaches 200 degrees- jelly stage- on a thermometer.
2- Pour immediately into hot sterilized jars and process in a water-bath canner for 5 minutes. Place jars on a clean towel. Cover with towel to prevent drafts and let cool for 24 hours.

*You'll hear them 'pop' when they seal. =)

They look so pretty all lined up in my pantry in their adorable little jars.

I've already gave away a few of these with one small request- Please return the jar.

Is that tacky? ;P

  3. wow, that looks great! although i'm intimidated by candy thermometers. i almost burnt my hand off making toffee this winter and the darn thermometer kept falling into the pot and splashing me.
