Pineapple

Pineapple was on sale last week for 99cents, so I finally took the plunge and canned my own pineapple, something I had wanted to try for some time, but just hadn't.  

Isn't it pretty!?

5 pineapples

4 cups water

1 cup sugar

Yields 5 pints (plus some extra pineapple got frozen)

Cut pineapples.  Place 4 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar in a large stainless steel pan.  Bring to a boil.  Warm the pineapple in the hot water for 1 minute, one layer at a time.  Use a slotted spoon to put warm pineapple into jars leaving a 1/2 inch head space.  Top pineapple with syrup used for warming pineapple leaving 1/2 inch headspace.  Wipe rim, add lid.  Process 25 minutes for pints.  

*Original recipe is 15 minutes, 10 minutes added for altitude.
