How to Make Pineapple and Apple Jam

• Peel, core and dice the apple. Place the peel and core in a sauce pan with 1 cup of water and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Stain and reserve the water. (The peel and core of apple is rich in pectin. The extract will help set the jam as pineapple does not contain any pectin)
• Combine apple and pineapple pieces in a thick bottomed pan .
• Add the reserved water and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add sugar, essence and lime juice.
• Cook till the jam reaches the setting stage. (To test the setting stage, drop a spoonful of jam on a cool saucer. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Push the jam from side with the back of a spoon. The jam should wrinkle on the surface)
• Pour in clean, sterilised bottles while still hot and close with the lid. (To prevent the bottle from breaking, place the bottle on a thick kitchen towel).
