Pineapple Jam (Ananasache Jam)
Pineapple is known as ananas in Konkani language (a language spoken in Goa). This is a jam that is prepared without any preservative or fruit pectin. The store bought jellies or jam seem to have a thick texture due to the use to pectin. Pectin is an agent that helps thicken the jam and allows less cooking time. So this pineapple jam has a perfect consistency for spreading over toasts.

Instructions

1 Wash and clean the pineapple.

-
4 In a non stick vessel, add the puree along with cinnamon stick and lemon juice. Bring it to a boil. (medium heat, stir in between)
-
5 After about 15 minutes, add the sugar.

6 Once sugar dissolves completely, you can add the pineapple essence if using.
