Pineapple Jalapeño Jam

Pineapple Jalapeño jam

Ingredients
2 cups sugar

20-oz. cans crushed pineapple (juice pack), well drained

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 Tbsp fresh chopped jalapeno peppers, drained

1 tsp butter or margarine

1/3 of a 6 oz. pkg. (1 foil pouch) Liquid Fruit Pectin. Alternatively, use 1 tbsp regular pectin powder ( to be mixed in with sugar at the beginning)

Directions
In a 4 to 5 quart pot, combine sugar, pineapple, lemon juice, jalapeno peppers, and butter. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Quickly stir in pectin. Return to a full rolling boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam with a metal spoon.
Let it cool completely and transfer to clean dry jars. Makes about 2 half pints. Keeps in refrigerator for 4 weeks without canning.
