How many of you agree with me that homemade Jams without preservatives are the best? If you haven’t tried any yet, I highly recommend you to try this Pineapple Vanilla Jam. I bet you will never buy from store again.

Homemade Pineapple Vanilla Jam

I love Pineapples and whenever I get them I usually make Pineapple Rasam, Kerala Pineapple Madura Curry , Grilled Pineapple and will save some to make this Pineapple Vanilla Jam. My daughter loves  to spread this in her sandwich or roti for her lunch box. And as a mom I need not have to worry about the preservatives the store bought ones have. So happy kids, happy mommy..lol. Isn’t it true 😊?

How I made Pineapple Vanilla Jam

To make this Pineapple Vanilla Jam, you need just a handful of ingredients. Pineapple, sugar , lemon juice , vanilla essence and a pinch of salt. Just cook all the ingredients together till the jam consistency. That’s it. Isn’t it great?

The addition of vanilla essence definitely enhance the flavor of the jam. If you don’t want to add, you can avoid it. Still the jam will be great. But make sure to refrigerate jam in clean container after completely cools down and always use dry spoon. Yes , I stress that. Then this jam will be good for 2 weeks. But I bet this will not last that long. There will be some sneaky guys looking for this jam for sure😉.
