Fresh Pineapple {Canning}

Canning Fresh Cut Pineapple (water bath) 

   I found that cutting up my 2 larger pineapples made 3 pints of canned pineapple. Peel and remove eyes and tough fiber. Slice or cube your pineapple. The yield will depend on how much pineapple you actually render from each cut fruit.  I make a basic syrup of 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water for each pint.  I go ahead, and prepare my fruit, fill pint jars with my fruit to see what my yield will be and then proceed with make the syrup on the stove top.  You want to make your syrup, add in the cut pineapple - bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes before jarring with 1/2-inch headspace, make sure to de-bubble your jars and bring liquid level back to 1/2-inch headspace.  Process in a waterbath canner for 15 minutes/pints (or according to your altitude.)
