How to Make Kiwi Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups chopped kiwi, 1 box powdered fruit pectin, and 1/2 cup pineapple juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial for proper setting.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 7 cups of sugar, stirring constantly until completely dissolved.
  4. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. A rolling boil is where large, continuous bubbles break the surface.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam using a metal spoon or spatula.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized, hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on top, and tighten fingertip tight.
  8. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Add an additional minute for every 1000 feet above 1000 feet. Adjust processing time if using different sized jars. Follow proper canning guidelines for safe preservation.
  9. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear the satisfying 'pop' of the lids sealing. Check seals to ensure they've completely sealed before storing.
