Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 whole (ripe) Kiwis
- 3 whole Fresh jalapenos
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Powdered pectin
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the kiwis and dice them into small chunks. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos for a milder jam, or leave some seeds in for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapenos and add them to the saucepan with the kiwi.
Add the granulated sugar, lime juice, water, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the kiwi breaks down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Sprinkle the powdered pectin into the saucepan and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes to activate the pectin. This will help the jam thicken further.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the jam into sterilized jars or airtight containers and let it cool completely before sealing.
Refrigerate the jars of jam and consume within 3-4 weeks, or process the jars in a water bath for long-term shelf storage.
