Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces (medium-sized, peeled and chopped) Kiwis
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1.5 teaspoons Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Powdered fruit pectin
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the kiwis and chop them into small chunks.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped kiwis, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered fruit pectin and water until smooth.
Add the pectin mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat back to medium and allow the mixture to simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for 5–10 minutes.
Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or storing in a cool place.
The jam can be refrigerated for up to 3 weeks or processed in a water bath canner for longer storage.
