  1. I made this once following exactly and it turned out good. Nice and almost “creamy” spreadable. I made it again but doubled it and it’s chunky. Almost like crushed pineapple in a can where’s there’s pieces of pineapple with the juice. I did everything the same except doubling it. Is there a fix? I hate to waste this

    1. Have you done the food processor step where the pieces are blended? If they are blended, there won’t be chunky pieces. At this point to turn it into spreadable, blend the jam in a blender and then boil it again till it thickens.

    2. When making jams, jellies, preserves, there is a fruit/acid/sugar balance and doubling the recipe does not work. If you want double the amount of the recipe, then you should make the recipe twice. This is especially important if you are going to can your results.

  2. Pineapple jam is nice. My favourite blueberry & lavender jam which happens to be less popular. Of course strawberry jam.
