Ingredients
Directions
Peel, core, and remove all eyes from the pineapple, then cut it into desired shapes.
Blanch the pineapple pieces in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and cool them in cold water.
Pack the pineapple into Perfect Seal Jars.
Pour syrup over the pineapple to completely fill the jars.
Put on the rubbers and tops, adjusting the spring as needed.
Place the jars in a boiler and sterilize for 30 minutes.
Press down the spring and store the jars in a dark place.
