PINA COLADA JAM

If you like pina coladas, you'll like this! It is perfect to warm and serve as a dip for coconut shrimp or coconut chicken strips. It can be used as a cake filling or for crepes. I, personally, prefer it right off the spoon. :) A friend sent this recipe to me knowing that I like "different" kinds of jams and jellies...and I like pina coladas also. Cooking time does not include time for water to boil in canner. Prep and cooking times are estimates.

Tips:

  • To ensure smooth and lump-free gelatina, whisk the unflavored gelatin in a small bowl with the cold water for about 5 minutes, or until the gelatin has completely dissolved.
  • Use fresh pineapple juice and coconut cream for the best flavor. Canned or store-bought juices may contain preservatives or added sugars that can alter the taste of the jellies.
  • If you don't have pineapple chunks, you can use canned pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the gelatina mixture.
  • For a boozy twist, add a splash of rum or coconut liqueur to the gelatina mixture before pouring it into the molds.
  • If you want to make the jellies in advance, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or foil.

Conclusion:

Pina colada fruit jellies are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
