Whenever we are back at my parents’ in Ipoh, my dad would never fail to whip up all my favorite dishes while my mum would bake cakes, bread, jam and much more.
When we were back in Ipoh last week, my dad made some peanut butter and pineapple jam. My dad bought a large, sweet and fragrant pineapple and my mum joined hands to make the pineapple jam.
First my dad cut up the pineapple into cubes. Then my mum blended the pineapple and put the pineapple paste into her Kenwood breadmaker.
The pineapple jam (reduced sugar) all ready inside the bread maker. Everyone loves this jam. Even Baby C who hates sweet stuff (she associates sweet stuff with her daily antibiotics) loves this jam.
My dad dry frying the peanuts in slow flame in the wok. He then painstakingly spent almost an hour removing the peanut skin under a papaya tree in our garden. Next, my mum blended the peanuts, added some groundnut oil and a dash of salt.
Labor of love – the yummilicous peanut butter and pineapple jam that my parents made for their daugther and granddaughters.

You have great parents. And the peanut butter and pineapple jam looked really yummy.
that’s soooo nice!!!! Your folks are very very sweet! Have a merry xmas and a very fulfilling new year ahead…take care
wah, yummy! the love of parents 🙂
oh they look so delicious!!! btw, how long can they last? just curious 🙂 I’m sure there are no preservatives.
so nice your parents can cook so well!
hmm,…. yummy… I want to try to make jam and peanut butter jam too.
Yea, how long can they last?
Yummy!!! Should make pineapple tart with the jam.
Wow!!! The jams look yummy and I like it when it is homemade jam…..You give me some good idea…I should ask my mom to prepare all those kaya, pineapple, etc jams for me before she went back…..Ha,ha…but, the problem is, I’m WM and it will take ages for me to clear all those homemade jam….
The jam and the peanut butter look sooooo yummy, and healthy too. You are so blessed! Merry Christmas and happy new year.
So delicious and you are so lucky … so do the gals!
Nothing beats your own parents eh? They know precisely what you like!! Btw, why is the pineapple jam inside the breadmaker har?
Oh it sure taste nice with mom’s homemade jam.
oh..ya. Sorry for stupid question, but do u put it in the fridge? (The peanut butter, i.e.) The ‘off-the-shelf’ one doesn’t require refrigeration but seeing that it’s a homemade one..I assume it does? heheheh..coz I’m thinking of doing it..since it looks simple..just laborious la..
Barb and Malaika’s Mum…. the pineapple jam and peanut butter can easily last 1-2 mths in the fridge. It’s preservative-free. My mum sometimes deep freezes her red bean and green bean paste/jam too and when deep frozen, the jam can last up to 1/2 year.
when u eat its super nice cos its filled with lurve!
The homemade jam n peanut butter must be extra healthy n yummy. It’s so nice to be pampered by parents even at our age, rite?
Merry X’mas & Happy New Year to u n ur family!
very lovely parents u have. lucky u!
Paik Ling… the breadmaker can make jam too!
Mott…. we don’t normally put the peanut butter into the fridge coz it is normally walloped within days or a week. I guess it’s better to put it into the fridge since there is no preservative.
Hi,
How much groundnut oil needed for the peanut butter? Do you put water while you blend it? Any sugar? I plan to make it on Monday.Many thanks.
Passion Mum… no need to put water, please don’t add water!! Actually no fixed measurement for the oil. You can add any amount that you like. If you don’t add enough oil, the peanut butter will be very dry. So you have to adjust according to the consistency. If you like it smooth, then add more oil. If you want it sweet, you can add sugar to taste too.
Oh, thank you so much for your quick reply, i will let you know what is the outcome on Monday 🙂 Thanks again!
