Homemade Kiwi Jam Recipes

KIWI JAM

Steps:

• Peel and chop kiwis, and place them in a deep saucepan with sugar and citrus juice. Jam bubbles during cooking, be sure you have enough headspace to avoid overflows.
• Cook the kiwi jam for about 10-15 minutes, until it reaches gel stage. Test for it on a plate placed in the freezer, or with a kitchen thermometer (220 degrees F).
• Ladle the finished kiwi jam into jars, leaving a small 1/4 inch headspace. De-bubble the jars, adjust headspace and then cap with 2 part lids.
• For a fridge or freezer jam, allow the jars to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.
• If canning, process in a water bath canner for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water for an additional 5 minutes before removing them to cool. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator, and place the sealed jars in the pantry. Sealed jars should last 12-18 months without losing quality.

KIWI JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups mashed kiwi, pineapple juice, lemon juice and apples. Bring to a boil and then add the sugar; stir to dissolve, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

KIWI JAM

Steps:

• Peel and dice kiwis, cutting out the core if you're short on time (or want something that's more of a jelly than a jam).
• Putting the kiwis, water, sugar and lime juice in a large saucepan, set it on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Let simmer on low under a lid for 30-45 minutes (if you left in the cores) or until soft (10-15 without cores).
• Take off the lid and let reduce to thickened consistency (it'll be a bit of a jelly now).
• Either put through a food processor, or very gently whisk until it's as smooth or lumpy as you want it (kiwi napalm burns, kids).
• Put in a container and refrigerate (will keep up to 2 weeks), use on pancakes, toast, cake, anywhere you like.
