Yes, you can use canned, in fact it's probably easier than fresh, because you don't have to sit it overnight in sugar & then simmer it for ages to soften it, which you do with fresh.
As long as you get stuff tinned in juice, NOT SYRUP, then you just do weight for weight with sugar. I can't remember if you need to add pectin or not though, and I can't find my book at the mo! Might be a good idea to use Jam Sugar just in case? -

Maiell l made some pineapple jam recently as l was fed up with the tasteless stuff l'd bought in shops. The first batch l made was a small batch - just one large chopped up pineapple and it only yielded 3 jars. lt was trial and error and l didn't add much water. l did add the juice of one lemon as l do to all my jams etc. The pineapple jam was a rich colour and the flavour was truly superb - very strong. lt went very quickly so l made another batch but added much more water. lt is a softer and less strong jam but still better than shop bought. lf l make more l'll go back to the stronger one tho
