Spicy Pineapple & Orange Jam
A delicious and easy jam inspired by Sri Lankan flavours.
Ingredients:
One large pineapple, outer peels cut away and chopped as much/little as you like.
4 to 5 large oranges, cut into quarters, and blitzed whole (yes whole) in a food processor.
Sugar- 50% of the weight of the total fruit.
Per 1000g of pineapple use
-1tsp ground ginger
-2inch fresh piece of ginger
-1/2tsp black peppercorns, coarsly ground
-1 tsp salt
Prepare your jam jars by sterlising in hot water
Put all ingredients in a large pot, and bring to a quick boil over high heat.
Immediately lower the heat to medium-low and cook while stirring occasionally, until the jam is thickened to the consistency you like. (Mine took about 30 minutes of slow cooking.)
Spoon into jam jars while still hot, and seal with lids.
