Pineapple Marmalade

1 . Stage

Inspect a jar for cracks and rings for rust. Immerse in simmering water until pineapple marmalade is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.

2 . Stage

Coarsely blend pineapple in a blender. Set aside.

3 . Stage

Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes.

4 . Stage

Spoon pineapple marmalade into hot sterile jars and seal. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.
