Pineapple Preserves

I was a nut, and caught pineapples on sale right around Christmas.  10 for $10 ($1 a piece, yeah, I stocked up on 10 of them).  So I had 10 pineapples with which to do SOMETHING.  We decided on pineapple preserves.

Obviously, I got more than 20 oz of pineapple out of the bunch.  I probably made what would amount to $100 worth of preserves out of nine of the pineapples.  For about $18 (once you counted in sugar).  I ended up with nine batches worth of pineapple preserves.  It is very good.
