Kiwifruit makes for a very tasty and exotic jam, especially when coupled with tropical fruit juice such as pineapple: try this recipe and you won’t be disappointed!
Kiwifruit Jam
For this recipe, you will need:
- 3 cups sliced kiwifruit
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 packet pectin
- 4 cups sugar
- A large saucepan
- Sterilized jars
Pour the kiwifruit, pineapple juice and pectin in the large saucepan. Start heating the mixture, and slowly add sugar, stirring vigorously, until dissolved.
Bring the kiwifruit jam to a boil: keep stirring carefully and remove the occasional foam with a spoon.
After 5 minutes, turn off the flame and let the jam rest for about 20 minutes.
Pour the kiwi fruit jam into your sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch free, and seal them…done!
A slightly sour variation can be made by adding 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice!
