Pineapple Jam (I used the readymade pineapple jam)

2 pineapples

450 g sugar

1 cardamon

2 cloves

Method :

1. Grate the pineapples and just place them on a sieve to remove the juice. Do not squeeze out the juice!

2. Put them in a pot and cook on medium heat till the pineapple is slightly dried.

3. Add in sugar, cardamon and cloves. Leave to thicken and shiny on slow fire.

4. Leave to cool and ready to use.
