Crushed Pineapple Jam

My get-go endeavour at making fresh pineapple jam was non totally successful since it never actually "set" in addition to I ended upwards using it equally ice cream topping. I mean value the acidity or saccharide degree inward whatsoever given pineapple varies greatly, thus it was difficult to larn the right pectin ratio, but that's simply a guess.
.
Now I role this excellent, super quick in addition to super tasty recipe for pineapple jam that calls for canned crushed pineapple.

NOTE: I proceed private (6 ounce) cans of unsweetened pineapple juice inward the pantry for cooking, rather than a big jug that spoils earlier it gets used up.
.
NOTE: We don't help for jam that has big (unspreadable) chunks of fruit inward it, thus I pulsed the pineapple inward the nutrient processor a few times earlier I started cooking the jam. The concluding production withal had a pineapple texture, but no difficult chunks. I mean value adjacent fourth dimension I brand this, I volition lay inward a few chopped maraschino cherries for fun & color.
