Water Bath Canning Pineapple 

You are dedicated to not only being frugal, prepared, and self sufficient but so generous with your time! Thank you for being a great neighbor and friend to us all!! I’m going to look for pineapple sales! 😀

Walmart had a sale on them last winter $0.50 each. I canned up seventy quart jars.

I’m always amused when I have a moment of realization that I can do something like…can pineapple! For whatever reason it has never crossed my mind. I’ve already ordered my ‘gadget’ so I’ll be ready when we’re able to score a great deal on pineapple! Thank you for sharing the tool because honestly the tool makes this seem so doable.

I canned 21 pints of fresh pineapple in August following the USDA guidelines. Additionally: I hand squeezed my empty pineapples for more juice and I use the sharp tip of my carrot peeler to clean up all of the “eyes”. tx for sharing

Love this ! Found a fantastic deal for beautiful fresh pineapples! Bought 13 of them . A lady at the store came up to me asked what I was doing with all the pineapple.( She was about 60 ) I told her I was going to can them ! She was SHOCKED 😲!! She kept saying how amazing that was ! I told her I hunt for deals and either Can , dehydrate or put it in my freezer . She said " I never would have expected someone so young to be into canning " ( I'm 31) I told her I grew up doing it and explained this is what I've always done , last week I found a bunch of cauliflower on-sale and made a bunch of pickled cauliflower. This week I got pineapple and tons of bags of fresh cranberries for 0.25 ! We just had Thanksgiving here in Canada and Cranberries are always so cheap after Thanksgiving. So I grabbed 36 bags for $9 and am going to make my own cranberry juice concentrate . She thought that was amazing lol But I'm very thankful I have the skills to do stuff like this . God blesses me with Deals and I'm able to make things for my family ❤️

Pam a couple things: 1. I prefer the OXO Pineapple Corer. It is metal and takes less strength to get the goodies out. Just a suggestion. 2. I do the standard USDA guidelines on canning the fruit. However, if you scrub the skins, I take the skins and remaining fruit inside and boil it down and strain it in a food mill on fine, and boil it down with sugar or honey, for Pineapple Jam or glaze. It is spectacular on Ham, Pork Roasts, or even in some sweet and sour recipes. Our Farmer's Market here gets Pineapples several time a year that could be considered by the consumer market as "over-ripe." LOL No... It's just right for canning. I have even checked the pH and added a bit of lemon juice to correct the pH. It is fantastic and checks all the boxes for being safe. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I canned pineapple a couple months ago and for the "simple syrup " I took all of the very clean peels and cores, some water, and any juice from slicing and boiled it for about 40 minutes and strained it. It was sweet enough that I didn't need to add sugar/sweeteners (that's helpful for diabetics). So it was canned in its own pineapple juice. Very good. I also let the pineapples sit on the counter for a week to make sure they were really ripe. A tip for knowing when pineapple is ripe is pulling an inner leaf. If it comes out easy it is ripe. If it doesn't come out it isn't ripe yet. I love pineapple 🍍. Thank u for the great info, always.

The one with mostly juice would be good to add to smoothies, or bring to a boil and thicken with cornstarch, and use it as a topping for ice cream and / or cake!

Thank you for all that you do. So appreciated!!!!!!!!

Thank you both for being so helpful

I love the way you explain clearly and succinctly. Thank you!

I don’t know why I never thought about canning pineapple thank you for waking me up!

Thanks! Gonna try this!

Beautiful!!!! Thank you💐

That looks really great. Best prices I saw last year was $.97. Best price this year so far was $1.50. I am like you...buy good deals and get to canning or dehydrating. I haven't bought one of those coring tools, though. Do it the old fashion way with just a knife. Now I need a new gadget. Your are an inspiration!

I absolutely adore both your husband and you sharing your knowledge! Thank you from Montreal !

Wow thanks

Thanks, Ms Pam.

I've been canning for about 15 years and I've never seen a Jam Pan I love it! I must get one! Thank you for your video's they are very informative and I love them.

Good job! You two are an inspiration. I’m doing more canning than I ever thought I would!

Yum I did pineapple in coconut water this past week too!

Good morning to you too , thank fir sharing with us

Love this!!! Ty!!!!

You inspired me to start canning. I'm starting with water canning. I just bought my supplies and very excited to see how it goes. Thank you

What a great gadget!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam and Jim! Have a beautiful day with your family! Love you guys! Thanks for all you do!

I love how clean and safe you are when doing things. Ive learned so much about canning -and the science of it- from your channel and I'm so thankful for you and your knowledge and time!

Yeah, Jim!

They really are beautiful jars and i love that you told how many canned jars you got from the ten pineapples. Thanks for these lovely informative videos.

I love the excitement you show when you are canning. You look so happy. Thank you for sharing your happiness with us.

Beautiful pineapple!!! Thank you for sharing Pam and wanting to wish you and Jim a very thankful Thanksgiving to you and your family. God bless.

What a steal on pineapples!

Thank you for sharing

I really enjoy your canning videos so much. You're obviously a wonderful professor, you're so thorough and scientific in your explanation and research that you share with us. You break it down so that we can all fully understand the reasons behind the USDA guidelines. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

You're amazing!!! I'm gonna keep watching

You are broadening my horizons! What a wonderful thing to have beautiful home canned pineapple!

Yum, I love fresh pineapple!

I canned up lots of pints of pineapple back in August. I even was able to rings in wide mouth Ball jars. I had to seperate the spiral into single rings but they are beautiful, I had to wear a pair of nitril gardening gloves(new, for kitchen use) to protect my fingers handling hot food and jars..even the very lightest syrup is hotter than water...come winter, pineapple upside down cake is a holiday family favorite. Blessings!

They are also good dehydrated! Yumm!

Very impressive! I’ve been canning for years. And I love pineapple! That pineapple cutter is neat!

What an awesome device.

I’ve just bought a butane gas cooker like yours as I can’t use my presto on my induction hob but since all the power shortages it’s a back up too. I’m making fresh pineapple today and your apple pie filling tomorrow. We made the apple pie last year and it’s was delicious thank you

These look great !!! Thank you for sharing Pam and Jim. Happy Thanksgiving and Blessings !!! ✝️💟

Beautiful pineapple. I canned some a few weeks ago. Yummy

Grabbed a bunch of those on that deal for the same reason! I love home canned pineapple!

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam and Jim. I love pineapple and will get some canned up when I can find any on sale. Thank you for all you both do for us all. You are amazing! Enjoy your holiday and try to get some rest. God bless

Great video! I will keep an eye out for pineapple.

The gadget wins awards with me! Fun video and always an inspiration! Thank you!!! 😋

This past summer I canned zucchini pineapple and it came out good. Different texture but taste is good. Always looking ways to use zucchini.

Well this is a coincidence. I just found a great deal on pineapples in Yuma AZ. Making jam with 6, then chunking the rest for canning. If you like pineapple you should give the jam a try, it’s marvellous. On a side note, I have just bought the 4 tray HR freeze dryer. It has to sit for 24 hours the book says and that’s killing me ( not particularly patient lol), however I do have a line up of foods ready to go….after all the proper setups and bread run has been completed. Watching you with yours gave me the extra push I needed to make the purchase ( no pressure lol ). Before I buy anything I do absolutely loads of research. About 2 years worth on this so I know I’m going to be extremely satisfied with it. Cheers from Alberta.

I never even thought about canning pineapple! It's on the radar now and can't wait for the opportunity to do this.

Fantastic! I enjoyed this video so much.

thanks for this video. i’m going to can some pineapple this week! I love learning from you.

Wow! That gadget is a keeper! I've never seen one operated before, honestly would have thought it wouldn't work if I were looking at one in the store.

Love love. You are such an inspiration

I never have canned pineapple, but sure would like to. Looked sooooooo great. Amazingly good price for pineapple!

I learned something in the first two minutes and fifteen seconds. Something that seems obvious, but I hadn't quite thought of especially if you're saving the juice is to wash the pineapple first! Well goes to show I just learned recently all about washing your bananas when you bring them home from the store as well, so this makes sense, thank you.

This is making my mouth water. I love Pineapple and will definitely be canning pineapple when I see it on sale in the stores.

Thanks for that Pam, im not yet confident to buy a canner..so I'm starting with water canning foods that can be canned this way.

Those pineapple corers are a total time saver.

Thanks! I found a sale yesterday and am heading back for more pineapples 🍍!!!!

Fantastic!!! Here in Puerto Rico we are in the pineapple harvest season!! I’ll do it😃💃🏻 Thank you!!!

Freeze dried pineapples are divine! Just rinse your chunks, pat dry, and freeze on a rack overnight before freeze drying. I also ran the leftovers thru my juicer and saved the juice. You can plant the tops anywhere outside and watch them grow.

Ok that is the slickest of the slick!!! I must find one of those. The pineapple looks so refreshing and delicious.🥰

Thanks for another great video! And Happy Thanksgiving!

I saw this video last night 6/20/22. Today I went on the hunt for pineapple. My sister-in-law and my daughter and myself have been putting up pineapple and pickles this afternoon.

I love pineapples! I only get 3 at a time when it’s on sale but not anymore! Thank you for this video!

Thank you. Our local store has them for $1.42. Will be canning some on Monday. I bid you peace.

Gonna do this! And with the leftover peels and cores I make tepache, a delicious, refreshing fermented pineapple drink. So good and nothing is wasted!

Thank you for this!!! I have 6 pineapples on my countertop now and need to do something with them.

I live in Florida, and I take the pineapple top and plant it instead of tossing it out. This way I get a free pineapple, though it is a long process. It is fun to watch and fun to eat.

Haven't seen any pineapple on sale in my area, but we love it! So glad Jim was shopping in the right store at the right time!!

Thanks for the video. I have always wanted to try to can pineapple. Sometimes the canned ones can taste a little metallic. When I eat it fresh, I save the core (in the freezer) for smoothies.

I never thought about canning pineapple, but I when I see it on sale, I believe I will try it as my grandchildren love pineapple. Thank You again for your wonderful videos on canning.

I just got a bunch of pineapples at walmart for only $1 right after i watched this video!! I jumped right on it! Thank you so much!!!! I cant wait to can tomorrow!!! I will have this video playing as a reference!!!

👍👍👍👍👍

I love you and I like your method of teaching. I am from Belize and I am surely spending a lot of time in your presence on RU-vid.

Love your video's...thank you for all your hard work.

Great video and that is a beautiful pot you heated the pineapples in.. great video

I just bought Pineapples for 77 cents each! I will get busy!! Thank you for the canning class!

I loved your maslin pan. I researched prices on the internet & found a company (Lee Valley) that had the maslin pan w/optional lid for much less than the prices on Amazon. It was as well made as the Amazon pans and I love to save money. So my maslin pan came from another website. I love, love it. I make pectin free jams that need to boil down and this will be perfect. TY for teaching us about this pan.

Thank you so much. Our community market here put out pineapple by the case to toss. some still green ! A man with hogs comes and gets stuff they have left over. Well this little piggy goes by there and gleens from whats still good. I got 3 but should have gotten more . I gave one to my sister and am canning the other 2. I so need one of those gadgets ! lol Gotta budget for one. My son has really good knife skills so was able to get him to cut them up. I had my juicer from when I had cancer and was jicing so... I had beautiful juice and appreciated the low sugar. Canned juice too and had enough to have a nice drink. Wink wink ! lol Again thank you so much.

Thank you for the motivation. I'm so excited to stop and pick up pineapples. Thank you so much my Red Headed Kitchen Friend!!

I never made jam before, this will be my first attempt. Your instruction and presentation make me believe "I can do this." I saw your review on Amazon and purchased the mazlin pan. Thank you! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

I love the sound of lids popping! I hope you get your additional pineapple. Have a lovely holiday1

Wow, thanks for this video. My Aldi has pineapple for .97 cents each. Asked on our neighborhood website if anyone had a pineapple coring gadget for use in exchange for a jar Yes I am borrowing one from a neighbor. Yippee. All the jars I have left are 1/2 pint but they will do nicely. Thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jim.

This is a great video tyvm

exciting, I never knew you could can pineapple. I will be watching for sales.

Just canned 1 pineapple in 1/2p jars. I added about 1.5T of minced ginger to the whole batch for a little kick and toake it differentthan store bought. Yum!

This is excellent! Now I want to can pineapples!!😂 I love cottage cheese with peaches as well as pineapple. You have made my day sister! ❤

Over the past 6 months you have encouraged, inspired and taught us all so mych! Even just reading the comment sections help. Covering so many topics that cover basic ‘need to know’ things for every day life. Thanks to you both !! After learning and practicing water bath and pressure canning i was able to teach my sister to do both this past weekend. Great memories made. God bless you both

Very pretty jars..Would never have thought of doing that..Good for you..Lochness Scottish Highlands..

I normally don't like tools that are "uni-taskers" because we live in a tiny house, but I think I will invest in one of those.

Thank you for this. Ran to local store and picked up 12 🍍. 16 pints later, so excited. Also 6 pints of Mandarin oranges. Yay!!

I just bought two pineapples for canning. I have not canned anything yet! I’m starting small and so glad you have this video! I don’t think I would of ever thought to save the juice! I also will only can them in water to lower sugar consumption. So saving the juice is a great idea

Yesterday we found pineapples at our local Kroger’s (Smith’s is the Western Branch of the Kroger grocery family). Our pineapples cost $1,65/each; we are an additional 2,000 miles East of you and Hawaii (transport cost escalation?). I only wish I had the “core and slicer gadget;” I just followed the instructions on the card clipped to the pineapple. However, rather than hot bath pack the pineapple “diced” chunks cut I loaded our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer trays (lined with silicone mats) and pre-froze the trays to -11F then pre-chilled the Freeze Dryer and loaded the trays. It is surprising the pineapple dried to an indicated vacuum of 200 mT @ 135F in approximately 36 hours (I added an additional two (2) “Extra Drying Time” for my convenience) before removing and storing the freeze dried diced pineapples chunks. My preference for storing our freeze dried products is using canning jars (64 oz preferred; but, these are in short supply, so, I used 32 oz Ball jars). I vacuum seal the jars to 27 in-Hg (we live in Tennessee, our “homestead’s elevation is almost exactly 1,000 ft above SL I find this storage method an advantage since we can oped a jar use the amount of product required then promptly restore the preservation jars vacuum then back to its cool and dark storage location Thanks for all your inspiration, advice, techniques and technologies (I.e. “gadgets). Looking forward to your and Cindy’s Cookbook.

I just did this yesterday!

I can pineapple too and it is soooo delicious! If you get a chance try it on pizza (with Canadian bacon) made on the grill - FABULOUS!!

That works out to roughly 70 cents a pint. Of course, that is not counting sugar, electricity, butane, and your time. Love your pineapple gadget! Thanks, Pam and Jim, and Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving! Great video--very cool pineapple coring gizmo ( didn't know there was such a thing). I am grateful for your channel, among so much else this holiday. Blessings to the Community!
