Saunders Pineapple Jalapeño Jam

Saunders Family Farm Pineapple Jalapeño Jelly is full of fresh exotic tropical pineapple from Indonesia. The jalapeño gives it a slight spicy bite…but, not too much! It’s one of our milder spicy jellies. We like this as a glaze for turkey meatloaf, for basting roasted ham, or paired with coconut gouda cheese on a cracker.

Why we love Pineapples :

• The name pineapple comes from the fact that this jaunty fruit is shaped like a pine cone.
• Pineapple was first brought to Europe on his voyage home from The New World in 1493.
• March is the start of pineapple season, which runs until June.

And pineapples are:

• High in vitamin C
• Brimming with antioxidants
• High in manganese—which helps absorb calcium
• High in thiamin, a vitamin B used by the body for energy production.
