Pina Colada Jam

Submitted by kdp4640

"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."

MY OH MY - This is wonderful stuff! I had Malibu Coconut Rum so I used that instead of plain white rum just because I could. I can't say whether or not it set up because I just finished making it so it's still warm in the jars, but I had a little bit left over so I'm eating it by the spoonful - YUMMY! I got 8 half pint jars and will probably go buy another pineapple so I can make some more. I really don't care if it doesn't set up because it would be wonderful over ice cream or drizzled over cheesecake or just about anything you can think of even an old shoe sole - LOL!

Another one I just realized I have never reviewed. This jam tastes delicious. Mine didn't set up properly but I didn't even care. It makes a wonderful ice cream topping this way hehe. If anyone else makes it and it doesn't set, be ready; it separates. It is still perfectly fine, you just have to stir it all back together when you open the jar. If you love Pina Coladas, try this one!

Wowser! This is an absolutely awesome recipe. Smells like heaven, tastes even better. Time is good, I was done in just over an hour. I recommend making this in large quantities! This just in - try it spread very thinly in a ham and provolone grilled cheese - taste explosion!

This is very good and different. It took me forever to find cream of coconut. I bought a coconut thinking I might have to make my own, until I found it after the 4th store. So now I had a coconut I had to use up, so I cracked it open and put 1 cup of grated coconut in the recipe as well. I used coconut rum too. So the batch I made has slivers of white/clear coconut floating in it which is nice texture. This is a nice change for our Xmas basket this year. Thank you for the recipe.

I was very fortunate to receive a jar of this in the mail from KDP. I loved it!! I agree with her I could eat it by the spoonful! It is very good on biscuits!! I cant wait to use it between cake layers of a coconut cake and as a dipping sauce. Guess I need to get busy and make my own supply of it!! Thank you KPD for sending me my own personal jar!! Love ya!!
