Apricot and pineapple jam

Apricot and pineapple jam is a delicious sweet preparation made with fresh apricots and pineapple, cooked with sugar until a thick and smooth texture is achieved. This ingredient combines the soft, slightly acidic, and fragrant flavor of apricot with the tropical, sweet, and slightly tangy note of pineapple, creating a perfect balance ideal for accompanying both sweet and savory dishes.

The origin of this jam lies in the tradition of preserving fruit through cooking with sugar, a common practice in many culinary cultures. The combination of apricot and pineapple is especially popular in recipes that aim to innovate with fruity and tropical flavors, adding an exotic and fresh touch to breakfasts, desserts, toast, yogurts, and cheese preparations.

Among its properties, apricot and pineapple jam is a source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, active compounds derived from the original fruits. However, as it is a product with added sugar, it is recommended to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

In different regions of Latin America, this preparation may also be known simply as peach and pineapple jam (where apricot is called peach in some countries), or as apricot and pineapple jelly. In some places, the term apricot and pineapple preserve is used for homemade jams with a similar texture.

In cooking, apricot and pineapple jam is ideal for adding a fruity and exotic touch to your recipes, from pie and bread fillings to glazes and accompaniments for grilled meats.
