• Combine the pulsed pineapple and the rest of the ingredients in a small/medium saucepan and heat on low until all the sugar melts (start with 1.5 cups sugar, you can always add more later). Add cinnamon or ginger, if using.
• Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat and let simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until it reaches a nice jam consistency, stirring frequently - it will turn more translucent the longer you cook it. Remove from heat. Add more sugar and/or cinnamon if you wish.Allow to cool and store in the fridge in a covered jar for up to 3 months.
