Ingredients
Ginger-Pineapple Jam
Peel and quarter the pineapple. Remove the core, and cut the fruit into small pieces. Peel the pears, quarter, and remove the core. Cut into small pieces as well. Drizzle with the lemon juice and mix with the pineapple.
Weigh the prepared fruit, it should be about 36 ounces. Mix with half that weight of sugar in a saucepan. Peel and finely grate the ginger. Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise and add with the ginger to the saucepan. Let infuse for 15 minutes, bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod, add the jam to prepared jars, and seal immediately. Cool completely.
