Ingredients
Instructions
In a small saucepan add the crushed pineapple with the juice from the can and the sugar. Stir together.
Bring this mixture to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes until jam is thickened. Stirring occasionally to keep jam from sticking to the bottom of your saucepan. The jam will still be a little bit runny at this point but will thicken more once it cools.
Pour the jam into a jar and cool completely. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one month.
