This fruity small batch jam is full of pineapple flavour!

Ingredients:

50 pineappleweed flower buds
500ml (2 cups) water
250g (1 1/4 cups) pectinated sugar

Method:

Pick the pineappleweed flower buds and wipe clean. Place in a heat-proof bowl then pour over 500ml just off the boil water. Cover with a plate and set aside to infuse over night.

The following day, drain the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve into a saucepan. Press down on the flower buds with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as you can from them.

Add the sugar and place the pan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30-60 minutes, until the mixture reaches a setting consistency.

Spoon the mixture into warmed and sterilized jars. Secure the lids, allow to cool then label and store.
