Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Habanero Pineapple Jam.
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly draining the crushed pineapple, making sure to reserve half a cup of the juice for later use.
Step 2
Next, carefully inspect eight half-pint jars for any cracks and check the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective.
Step 3
Wash the new lids and rings in warm, soapy water to ensure cleanliness.
Step 4
To sterilize the jars and lids, immerse them in a large pot of boiling water for about five minutes.
Step 5
Once done, remove the jars and set them on a kitchen towel or wooden board to cool.
Step 6
In an 8-quart pot, mix together the sugar, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
Step 7
Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves.
Step 8
Bring it to a boil, then add the drained pineapple, reserved juice, minced red bell pepper, minced habanero peppers, and shredded carrots.
Step 9
Allow the mixture to return to a rapid boil for approximately five minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Step 10
Gradually introduce the powdered fruit pectin, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring to mix well after each addition.
Step 11
Let the jam boil for an additional five minutes, continuing to stir.
Step 12
Once ready, remove the pot from heat and ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about a quarter-inch of space at the top.
Step 13
Wipe any spills around the rims with a damp paper towel for a clean finish.
Step 14
Securely screw on the tops and rings, then return the sealed jars to the boiling water for five to ten minutes to ensure a proper seal.
Step 15
After this, carefully remove the jars and place them on a kitchen towel or wooden board to cool completely, which may take anywhere from twelve to twenty-four hours.
Step 16
As they cool, listen for the satisfying pop of the jar tops, a delightful sign that they have sealed perfectly.
Step 17
Enjoy the fruits of your labor with this vibrant and flavorful jam!.
