Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 grams ripe kiwifruits
- 500 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 50 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into small chunks and set aside.
Peel and dice the kiwifruits, ensuring there are no tough core pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the strawberries, kiwifruits, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar fully dissolves.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon or skimmer.
Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 20–25 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Test the consistency by placing a small amount on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles slightly when pushed, it's ready.
Once the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Carefully pour the warm jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1 cm (½ inch) of headspace at the top.
Seal the jars with lids, and if desired, process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to increase shelf life.
Let the jars cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year, or refrigerate after opening.
