There is one one thing that is more satisfying than a loaf of warm bread, and that is fresh, homemade jam! Incidentally, homemade jam does not always take half a day to prepare. Here is a quick recipe that makes two cups of wonderful Pineapple Jam in less than half an hour! For that fresh tang and heavenly mouth-feel, remember to just crush the pineapple coarsely and not grind it smooth. Once cooled, pop the jar of jam into the fridge and use whenever required.
A rich, amber-coloured jam with a hint of lemon, the Apple Jam is a perfect accompaniment to a loaf of freshly baked bread, croissants, or pancakes too. Instead of adding cinnamon powder to the jam, you may also choose to dip a stick of cinnamon into the jam while it is still hot, and lid the jar for a while, allowing the flavour to ooze in naturally and mildly. The coarse texture, which results from grating rather than blending the apples, is a specialty of this jam. But, of course, the best part is that it can be prepared in a jiffy using the microwave oven, so you can prepare fresh jam anytime you wish to!
