Currently, pineapples in the Beijing market are in the peak season for sales. Pineapples are very cheap at the fruit stall outside my community. Every day, vendors constantly promote them to passers-by. I couldn't resist the temptation, so I bought two. When I went home, I weighed them more than six kilograms. I couldn't eat them alone. Hehe, the pineapples were already very soft after several days, and they would rot if I didn't eat them. It happened to be a Saturday break, so I made pineapples into sauce for breakfast or snacks.
Making pineapple sauce is time-consuming and requires patience. It takes as short as two hours to cook it in a pot and requires slow boiling over low heat. There is no preservatives in the pineapple jam made by yourself. You can add the amount of sugar according to your taste, and you need to put a very small amount of coagulant in it. I use a little bit of agar powder as coagulant. Other materials are not easy to buy and the effect is not good. The sauce making method is as follows;

Steps for pineapple jam
1
Pineapple, maltose, white granulated sugar, agar powder, salt.
2
First use a knife to peel off the peel of the pineapple.
3
Then use a grooved knife to shovel away the black spots under the pineapple (you can also use a fruit knife without a grooved knife).
4
Cut the pineapple into large pieces, leaving away the hard core in the middle.
5
Sprinkle appropriate amount of salt into the pineapple and add water to make light salt water. Soak the pineapple pieces in the light salt water for half an hour.
6
After soaking the pineapple pieces for half an hour, take out the pineapple pieces and place them in the cooking machine (the pineapple pieces soaked in salt water do not need to be washed), and then use the cooking machine to beat the pineapple into pulp.
7
Pour the pineapple pulp into the pan and boil over heat.
8
At this time, pour a little cold water into the agar powder and soak it and melt it for later use.
9
Boil the pineapple pulp and transfer it to the induction cooker.
10
Add granulated sugar and maltose to it and simmer slowly at 100 degrees.
11
Skull off the floating foam when boiling.
12
After an hour and a half, the pineapple pulp has become more viscous.
13
At this time, pour the soaked agar water into the pan and stir well, and then continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.
14
When the water is completely exhausted, use a spoon to scoop it up and turn off the heat.
15
Put it into a container and cool before serving. Pineapple jam can be used as stuffing or spread on bread.pineapple jam Make Tips
Characteristics of this sauce: golden and translucent color, rich pineapple flavor, moderate sweet and sour taste, fresh and delicious sauce. Warm tips: 1. The time for boiling pineapple sauce can be flexibly controlled. For example, if you cook more, you can cook it for a longer time, and the time can be controlled according to the amount. The sweetness can also be controlled according to your preferences and how much sugar you put in. 2. Agar powder is generally sold in stores that sell food additives, such as chemical stores or ingredient stores, as well as large seasoning wholesale markets. You can use agar powder or agar strips, but not too much. Generally, you can put 1-2 grams of sauce in one pound of sauce. If you have too much, it will solidify into pieces. I used 3000 grams of two large pineapples to boil the sauce to get 750 grams. The viscosity of this amount of sauce is basically appropriate for reference. 3. Allow the sauce to cool and then stir it to prevent it from agglomerating, then it can be refrigerated and taken as soon as possible when eating. It is best to store it in a sterilized sealed container. 4. It is recommended to use an induction cooker when boiling sauce. The sides and bottom of the pot are not easy to boil, and the temperature is easy to control. It is best to use the 100-degree gear and the 75-degree gear after boiling. You must not rush for success. You have made this homemade "pineapple sauce" with the big fried spoon. You can use it to make pineapple pie, tarts, pastry fillings or spread bread for your reference!
