Ingredients

• 4 large Fresh oranges
• 2 cups Pineapple (fresh or canned)
• 3 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Pectin (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the oranges thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges and remove the seeds. Break the orange flesh into small pieces, being sure to collect any juice.

Step 2

Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and chopping it into small pieces if using fresh pineapple. If using canned pineapple, drain it and chop into small chunks as needed.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, combine the chopped oranges, pineapple, and any collected orange juice.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir the mixture well to combine.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and prevent sticking.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The fruit will begin to break down, and the mixture will thicken. If desired, add the pectin halfway through cooking to ensure a firmer set.

Step 7

To test if the jam is done, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let it cool for a minute. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it's ready. If not, continue to simmer and test again in 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 9

Seal the jars tightly with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if you intend to store them long term. Otherwise, allow the jars to cool completely and refrigerate for immediate use.

Step 10

Serve the jam on toast, biscuits, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy the citrusy, tropical flavors!
