Notes
- Make jam in small quantity and store in the refrigerator.
- Always use a dry spoon to take out the jam.
- The pineapple I used in the recipe was sour. If you are using pineapple that is sweet then reduce the quantity of sugar.
- Do follow the tip (2:1 ratio) for adding sugar given in the post.
- If pineapple is sweet then you can increase the quantity of lemon juice to 2 tbsp.
