Pineapple jam is not as commonly found as other fruit jams because pineapples are not as widely grown as other fruits. Pineapples are also more difficult to process and preserve than other fruits, which can make the production of pineapple jam more expensive and time-consuming. Luckily we live in the sunny Australia where Pineapples are abundant and, well we at QJJ thrive on making the hard to make and find.

Pineapple jam is definitely worth making and seeking out for its unique and delicious flavour. We at Quincey Jones Jelly Preserves have the philosophy of making jams with at least 75% fruit and therefore low in sugar but high in real fruit flavour. 

Pineapple jam that uses at least 75% fruit content has a rich and intense flavour of fresh pineapple. The sweetness of the jam is perfectly balanced with the tanginess of the fruit, giving it a refreshing and tropical taste. The texture of this jam is lusciously thick, but easy to spread, and has small pieces of crushed pineapple adding to the overall mouthfeel of the jam. The colour of the jam is a vibrant golden yellow, with a translucent appearance that is characteristic of high-quality fruit preserves. Overall, the taste of Pineapple jam with at least 75% fruit content is sweet, tangy, and bursting with the natural flavours of fresh pineapples.
