Pineapple sauce is my absolute favorite! This is wonderful over ice cream or any kind of pound cake or sponge cake, angel food, etc. or you can mix a tablespoon or two into nonfat Greek yogurt! Even better when you sprinkle on a bit of flaked coconut! Enjoy!

method Canning/Preserving

Ingredients For pineapple sauce (with option to can)

  • 2-3 c
    fresh pineapple
  • 1/2 c
    sugar
  • 1/2 c
    light corn syrup

How To Make pineapple sauce (with option to can)

  • 1
    Peel and chop your pineapple into chunks. Take about three cups of it and chop it up in the food processor. (you can use a can of pineapple for this, but the fresh tastes oooh so much better!)
  • 2
    Heat chopped pineapple in a medium saucepan over high heat. It does not have to be drained so throw any excess juice in there with it. Add in the sugar, corn syrup and bring to a boil.
  • 3
    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • 4
    NOTE: The mixture will thicken slightly more upon cooling.
  • 5
    Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a glass jar and cover. Store in the refrigerator to use over a few days. The other option is to can them in jars for a lovely treat that will stay shelf stable for about a year!

    FOR CANNING
  • 7
    Sterilize jars in a 250 degree oven for 10 minutes. Leave jars until ready to use.
  • 8
    Fill your water bath canner with enough water to cover the jars with an inch or two of water. Get close very close to boiling but don't bring to a boil until you've placed your jars in the bath.
  • 9
    Fill your jars, leaving a half inch headspace.
  • 10
    Wipe edges of jars with wet paper towel or clean dish rag.
  • 11
    Place lids on jars and screw on the rings just to finger tip tight.
  • 12
    Place jars on the rack and lower them into the water bath. Turn up the heat.
  • 13
    When water is full boiling, set your time to 15 minutes. Boil the jars for 15 minutes then carefully remove from bath to cool.
  • 14
    Leave jars to set for 24 hours. Check to make sure jars have sealed by pressing lightly on the top. There shouldn't be any movement or give in the lid.
  • 15
    Label your jars with the contents and date, and place in the cupboard/pantry for up to 1 year.
