You are dedicated to not only being frugal, prepared, and self sufficient but so generous with your time! Thank you for being a great neighbor and friend to us all!! I’m going to look for pineapple sales! 😀

Walmart had a sale on them last winter $0.50 each. I canned up seventy quart jars.

I canned 21 pints of fresh pineapple in August following the USDA guidelines. Additionally: I hand squeezed my empty pineapples for more juice and I use the sharp tip of my carrot peeler to clean up all of the “eyes”. tx for sharing

Love this ! Found a fantastic deal for beautiful fresh pineapples! Bought 13 of them . A lady at the store came up to me asked what I was doing with all the pineapple.( She was about 60 ) I told her I was going to can them ! She was SHOCKED 😲!! She kept saying how amazing that was ! I told her I hunt for deals and either Can , dehydrate or put it in my freezer . She said " I never would have expected someone so young to be into canning " ( I'm 31) I told her I grew up doing it and explained this is what I've always done , last week I found a bunch of cauliflower on-sale and made a bunch of pickled cauliflower. This week I got pineapple and tons of bags of fresh cranberries for 0.25 ! We just had Thanksgiving here in Canada and Cranberries are always so cheap after Thanksgiving. So I grabbed 36 bags for $9 and am going to make my own cranberry juice concentrate . She thought that was amazing lol But I'm very thankful I have the skills to do stuff like this . God blesses me with Deals and I'm able to make things for my family ❤️

I’m always amused when I have a moment of realization that I can do something like…can pineapple! For whatever reason it has never crossed my mind. I’ve already ordered my ‘gadget’ so I’ll be ready when we’re able to score a great deal on pineapple! Thank you for sharing the tool because honestly the tool makes this seem so doable.

Pam a couple things: 1. I prefer the OXO Pineapple Corer. It is metal and takes less strength to get the goodies out. Just a suggestion. 2. I do the standard USDA guidelines on canning the fruit. However, if you scrub the skins, I take the skins and remaining fruit inside and boil it down and strain it in a food mill on fine, and boil it down with sugar or honey, for Pineapple Jam or glaze. It is spectacular on Ham, Pork Roasts, or even in some sweet and sour recipes. Our Farmer's Market here gets Pineapples several time a year that could be considered by the consumer market as "over-ripe." LOL No... It's just right for canning. I have even checked the pH and added a bit of lemon juice to correct the pH. It is fantastic and checks all the boxes for being safe. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I canned pineapple a couple months ago and for the "simple syrup " I took all of the very clean peels and cores, some water, and any juice from slicing and boiled it for about 40 minutes and strained it. It was sweet enough that I didn't need to add sugar/sweeteners (that's helpful for diabetics). So it was canned in its own pineapple juice. Very good. I also let the pineapples sit on the counter for a week to make sure they were really ripe. A tip for knowing when pineapple is ripe is pulling an inner leaf. If it comes out easy it is ripe. If it doesn't come out it isn't ripe yet. I love pineapple 🍍. Thank u for the great info, always.

Those pineapple corers are a total time saver.

I just got a bunch of pineapples at walmart for only $1 right after i watched this video!! I jumped right on it! Thank you so much!!!! I cant wait to can tomorrow!!! I will have this video playing as a reference!!!

They are also good dehydrated! Yumm!

Yum I did pineapple in coconut water this past week too!

The one with mostly juice would be good to add to smoothies, or bring to a boil and thicken with cornstarch, and use it as a topping for ice cream and / or cake!

This past summer I canned zucchini pineapple and it came out good. Different texture but taste is good. Always looking ways to use zucchini.

That looks really great. Best prices I saw last year was $.97. Best price this year so far was $1.50. I am like you...buy good deals and get to canning or dehydrating. I haven't bought one of those coring tools, though. Do it the old fashion way with just a knife. Now I need a new gadget. Your are an inspiration!

Thank you. Our local store has them for $1.42. Will be canning some on Monday. I bid you peace.

I love the excitement you show when you are canning. You look so happy. Thank you for sharing your happiness with us.

I have one of those pineapple corer gadgets. It's amazing! I just found pineapples on sale for $1 here locally in Louisville, Ky. I'm going tomorrow and score as many nice ones as I can. I'd love to put up that many pints as you did so hoping they have at least 10 nice ones! Oh, one tip I found on another channel, pull the cores out and process them in with your simple syrup!

I never thought about canning pineapple, but I when I see it on sale, I believe I will try it as my grandchildren love pineapple. Thank You again for your wonderful videos on canning.

I don’t know why I never thought about canning pineapple thank you for waking me up!

I canned up lots of pints of pineapple back in August. I even was able to rings in wide mouth Ball jars. I had to seperate the spiral into single rings but they are beautiful, I had to wear a pair of nitril gardening gloves(new, for kitchen use) to protect my fingers handling hot food and jars..even the very lightest syrup is hotter than water...come winter, pineapple upside down cake is a holiday family favorite. Blessings!

Well this is a coincidence. I just found a great deal on pineapples in Yuma AZ. Making jam with 6, then chunking the rest for canning. If you like pineapple you should give the jam a try, it’s marvellous. On a side note, I have just bought the 4 tray HR freeze dryer. It has to sit for 24 hours the book says and that’s killing me ( not particularly patient lol), however I do have a line up of foods ready to go….after all the proper setups and bread run has been completed. Watching you with yours gave me the extra push I needed to make the purchase ( no pressure lol ). Before I buy anything I do absolutely loads of research. About 2 years worth on this so I know I’m going to be extremely satisfied with it. Cheers from Alberta.

Freeze dried pineapples are divine! Just rinse your chunks, pat dry, and freeze on a rack overnight before freeze drying. I also ran the leftovers thru my juicer and saved the juice. You can plant the tops anywhere outside and watch them grow.

I normally don't like tools that are "uni-taskers" because we live in a tiny house, but I think I will invest in one of those.

Great video and that is a beautiful pot you heated the pineapples in.. great video

Yesterday we found pineapples at our local Kroger’s (Smith’s is the Western Branch of the Kroger grocery family). Our pineapples cost $1,65/each; we are an additional 2,000 miles East of you and Hawaii (transport cost escalation?). I only wish I had the “core and slicer gadget;” I just followed the instructions on the card clipped to the pineapple. However, rather than hot bath pack the pineapple “diced” chunks cut I loaded our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer trays (lined with silicone mats) and pre-froze the trays to -11F then pre-chilled the Freeze Dryer and loaded the trays. It is surprising the pineapple dried to an indicated vacuum of 200 mT @ 135F in approximately 36 hours (I added an additional two (2) “Extra Drying Time” for my convenience) before removing and storing the freeze dried diced pineapples chunks. My preference for storing our freeze dried products is using canning jars (64 oz preferred; but, these are in short supply, so, I used 32 oz Ball jars). I vacuum seal the jars to 27 in-Hg (we live in Tennessee, our “homestead’s elevation is almost exactly 1,000 ft above SL I find this storage method an advantage since we can oped a jar use the amount of product required then promptly restore the preservation jars vacuum then back to its cool and dark storage location Thanks for all your inspiration, advice, techniques and technologies (I.e. “gadgets). Looking forward to your and Cindy’s Cookbook.

Wow! That gadget is a keeper! I've never seen one operated before, honestly would have thought it wouldn't work if I were looking at one in the store.

This is excellent! Now I want to can pineapples!!😂 I love cottage cheese with peaches as well as pineapple. You have made my day sister! ❤

You're amazing!!! I'm gonna keep watching

I really enjoy your canning videos so much. You're obviously a wonderful professor, you're so thorough and scientific in your explanation and research that you share with us. You break it down so that we can all fully understand the reasons behind the USDA guidelines. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I learned something in the first two minutes and fifteen seconds. Something that seems obvious, but I hadn't quite thought of especially if you're saving the juice is to wash the pineapple first! Well goes to show I just learned recently all about washing your bananas when you bring them home from the store as well, so this makes sense, thank you.

Wow, thanks for this video. My Aldi has pineapple for .97 cents each. Asked on our neighborhood website if anyone had a pineapple coring gadget for use in exchange for a jar Yes I am borrowing one from a neighbor. Yippee. All the jars I have left are 1/2 pint but they will do nicely. Thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jim.

Thank you so much. Our community market here put out pineapple by the case to toss. some still green ! A man with hogs comes and gets stuff they have left over. Well this little piggy goes by there and gleens from whats still good. I got 3 but should have gotten more . I gave one to my sister and am canning the other 2. I so need one of those gadgets ! lol Gotta budget for one. My son has really good knife skills so was able to get him to cut them up. I had my juicer from when I had cancer and was jicing so... I had beautiful juice and appreciated the low sugar. Canned juice too and had enough to have a nice drink. Wink wink ! lol Again thank you so much.

Great video! I will keep an eye out for pineapple.

Over the past 6 months you have encouraged, inspired and taught us all so mych! Even just reading the comment sections help. Covering so many topics that cover basic ‘need to know’ things for every day life. Thanks to you both !! After learning and practicing water bath and pressure canning i was able to teach my sister to do both this past weekend. Great memories made. God bless you both

I love how clean and safe you are when doing things. Ive learned so much about canning -and the science of it- from your channel and I'm so thankful for you and your knowledge and time!

Fantastic!!! Here in Puerto Rico we are in the pineapple harvest season!! I’ll do it😃💃🏻 Thank you!!!

Haven't seen any pineapple on sale in my area, but we love it! So glad Jim was shopping in the right store at the right time!!

Thanks to watching your video, I am now canning pineapple. Who knew and why not! We can so many varieties of fruit in jars to enjoy all winter long. Adding pineapple to our stash is a big bonus as we love it. 34 pints pineapple added to the pantry :)

I love the way you explain clearly and succinctly. Thank you!

I live in Florida, and I take the pineapple top and plant it instead of tossing it out. This way I get a free pineapple, though it is a long process. It is fun to watch and fun to eat.

Just canned 1 pineapple in 1/2p jars. I added about 1.5T of minced ginger to the whole batch for a little kick and toake it differentthan store bought. Yum!

Thank you for all that you do. So appreciated!!!!!!!!

What an awesome device.

exciting, I never knew you could can pineapple. I will be watching for sales.

Beautiful pineapple!!! Thank you for sharing Pam and wanting to wish you and Jim a very thankful Thanksgiving to you and your family. God bless.

I Love pineapples , but after I cut the top off, like you did, I plant the tops in good soil and take care of them like any other crop. They do take a long time to harvest ( about 2 yrs) but if you have the space, it's worth it. My brother gave me 2 plants, and I have planted about 10 more. I already harvested 1 a few months ago, and it was very sweet and juicey. Not as big as in stores, more rounded.

I’ve just bought a butane gas cooker like yours as I can’t use my presto on my induction hob but since all the power shortages it’s a back up too. I’m making fresh pineapple today and your apple pie filling tomorrow. We made the apple pie last year and it’s was delicious thank you

Thank you for the motivation. I'm so excited to stop and pick up pineapples. Thank you so much my Red Headed Kitchen Friend!!

I saw this video last night 6/20/22. Today I went on the hunt for pineapple. My sister-in-law and my daughter and myself have been putting up pineapple and pickles this afternoon.

Beautiful!!!! Thank you💐

Thanks! I found a sale yesterday and am heading back for more pineapples 🍍!!!!

I never made jam before, this will be my first attempt. Your instruction and presentation make me believe "I can do this." I saw your review on Amazon and purchased the mazlin pan. Thank you! Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Good morning to you too , thank fir sharing with us

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam and Jim. I love pineapple and will get some canned up when I can find any on sale. Thank you for all you both do for us all. You are amazing! Enjoy your holiday and try to get some rest. God bless

You are broadening my horizons! What a wonderful thing to have beautiful home canned pineapple!

thanks for this video. i’m going to can some pineapple this week! I love learning from you.

I can pineapple too and it is soooo delicious! If you get a chance try it on pizza (with Canadian bacon) made on the grill - FABULOUS!!

I've been canning for about 15 years and I've never seen a Jam Pan I love it! I must get one! Thank you for your video's they are very informative and I love them.

With my brandied cherries, I concentrated the leftover syrup and cherry juice into a syrup. Delicious on ice cream.

Very pretty jars..Would never have thought of doing that..Good for you..Lochness Scottish Highlands..

You inspired me to start canning. I'm starting with water canning. I just bought my supplies and very excited to see how it goes. Thank you

They really are beautiful jars and i love that you told how many canned jars you got from the ten pineapples. Thanks for these lovely informative videos.

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam and Jim! Have a beautiful day with your family! Love you guys! Thanks for all you do!

I don't know how I missed this last year but am glad I found it. My Winn Dixie has pineapples "on sale" for $2.99 (I am jealous of your $.97) so I won't be getting 20, although I probably would get 10 if I found them at your price. It will be nice to have some along with the Halos I canned last week, I will get some more of those, too. I have a pineapple corer and it *is one of the best kitchen gadgets! I wish mine was clear, though. Thanks for the tip on using a sheet pan ... much easier than a bowl!

Thanks for that Pam, im not yet confident to buy a canner..so I'm starting with water canning foods that can be canned this way.

I love you and I like your method of teaching. I am from Belize and I am surely spending a lot of time in your presence on KZfaq.

That works out to roughly 70 cents a pint. Of course, that is not counting sugar, electricity, butane, and your time. Love your pineapple gadget! Thanks, Pam and Jim, and Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

Thanks! Gonna try this!

I love the sound of lids popping! I hope you get your additional pineapple. Have a lovely holiday1

The gadget wins awards with me! Fun video and always an inspiration! Thank you!!! 😋

Very impressive! I’ve been canning for years. And I love pineapple! That pineapple cutter is neat!

This is making my mouth water. I love Pineapple and will definitely be canning pineapple when I see it on sale in the stores.

I always love to watch canning videos. One thing that puzzles me, though, is that we are told to have a towel or pad down on the counter to protect from thermal shock when they come out of the canner. When I am doing canning, I use a towel when putting hot food into hot jars while getting them ready for the canner. It seems to me that there would still be thermal shock even if the jars and contents aren't quite as hot as they will be coming out of the canner. Even if they don't break right then, I would think it would weaken the jars and shorten their useful life.

What a great gadget!!

I watched Alaska Granny and apparently pineapple does not preserve for a long time because the acid eventually eats through the seal. Just a heads up. We eat a lot of pineapple so I think we would be ok. My daughter bought me the gadget and I use it a lot. We are kitchen gadget girls!! I started several pineapples from tops and then their pups. I had 16 plants and they produced the best tasting fruit ever. They all froze in the Texas deep freeze.

I have a stainless steel pineapple corer/slicer with a non-slip grip and it goes in and turns much easier than the plastic one.

Thank you both for being so helpful

Thanks, Ms Pam.

I just bought Pineapples for 77 cents each! I will get busy!! Thank you for the canning class!

Love this video. So helpful and straight to the point. Plus a little sugar lol. Thank you for sharing. I am going to go try this now. :)

I never add syrup or sugar to mine, because I juice my cores and skins. Plus, I add the caviar from my vanilla beans to a few jars, so delicious. Excellent video btw!

Yeah, Jim!

I just bought two pineapples for canning. I have not canned anything yet! I’m starting small and so glad you have this video! I don’t think I would of ever thought to save the juice! I also will only can them in water to lower sugar consumption. So saving the juice is a great idea

Wow I bought 1 pineapple to try this. You really got a deal, plus you have the corer. Nice job!!!

I never even thought about canning pineapple! It's on the radar now and can't wait for the opportunity to do this.

Thank is some gorgeous Pineapple Ms. Pam. Think I need your gadget. I want to dehydrate some never have tried.Heard to blend the core real good to help when you over do the heavy things.

Did you also know you can freeze dry the core and powder it? It would make for a wonderful additional spice in so many things.

Yum, I love fresh pineapple!

That's also a whole bunch of pineapple plants you can grow from those tops. I haven't canned anything yet, even though I have all the gadgets, but you are encouraging me with each video you make. Love you so! Happy Thanksgiving Mrs Pam 🦃

I absolutely adore both your husband and you sharing your knowledge! Thank you from Montreal !

Thanks for another great video! And Happy Thanksgiving!

I got 24 pineapples for .99c each and I used my wic so it was a realy good deal. I freeze dried the fruit and am making pineapple peal jelly out of the skins and chopedup the cores for the jelly

I love pineapples! I only get 3 at a time when it’s on sale but not anymore! Thank you for this video!

And o course then you get to make tepache with all those yummy rinds!! I have not purchased beer since I discovered tepache...

Ok that is the slickest of the slick!!! I must find one of those. The pineapple looks so refreshing and delicious.🥰

I loved your maslin pan. I researched prices on the internet & found a company (Lee Valley) that had the maslin pan w/optional lid for much less than the prices on Amazon. It was as well made as the Amazon pans and I love to save money. So my maslin pan came from another website. I love, love it. I make pectin free jams that need to boil down and this will be perfect. TY for teaching us about this pan.

I never have canned pineapple, but sure would like to. Looked sooooooo great. Amazingly good price for pineapple!

Here in Norway, frozen pineapple is a lot more reasonably priced. Buying fresh pineapple for this, would make an expensive pineapple though … ☺️ I’m going to try making some now from what I have in my freezer with less sugar, mostly alternative sweetener… 🤗💚🌱🍀🌱💚

First time finding your channel(when I was looking for a water bath pineapple Canning recipe) It was such a delight to watch you can ur pineapple👍🏻 I am doing my pineapples right now and excited to do them this way instead of a pressure canner(those things always make me nervous😄)

I just canned pineapple, but wish I didn't have to pay $2.80 each. I also love pineapple and my hubby loves his pineapple upside-down cake. I went on walmart and amazon to find a gadget like that. Soon, I will get it ordered. Thanks for sharing such a great gadget.
