What each ingredient does

Pineapple
Is the fruit being preserved, supplying most of the flavor and texture of the finished product.
White sugar
Sweetens the syrup and helps the canned fruit keep its flavor and texture.

The step that matters

Seal the cans immediately after filling. Filling hot and sealing at once lets the contents cool and contract, creating a partial vacuum that pulls the lid down. Tightening the seals as they cool helps keep the cans airtight.
