Here in Goa, Pineapples are a summer staple. I can't tell you the number of times I’ve sat sweltering in the muggy heat, savouring the delight that is this fruit. Of course, that all comes to an end when the monsoon strikes.
Not to lose this tasty fruit after the season ends, I started turning it into a jam. Pineapple halwo is a popular jam in Goa. If you’re looking for a homemade Pineapple jam recipe this one may help you.
Make this recipe as it is
These are the ingredients you will need. For the exact measures please check the recipe card below.
Sugar syrup is called chashni and the end result of your dish depends on it.
To make a one-string consistency of sugar syrup, boil sugar and water. When the single thread consistency is ready take a drop of the syrup on a plate. Dip your forefinger in it then with your forefinger and thumb pull it. If a single string forms then your syrup is ready.

Anything with pineapple catches my attention as that is one of my favourite fruit. Pineapple Halwo is such a versatile condiment that one can enjoy with almost anything from roti to scones. Like how simple and easy this recipe is and the best part, it is not a huge quantity like most jam recipes.
