How to Make Kiwi Jelly

  1. Wash and peel 2 pounds of ripe kiwis. Roughly chop them.
  2. Place the chopped kiwis in a large saucepan and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the kiwis are very soft.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Using a potato masher, gently mash the kiwis until mostly smooth (leaving some texture is okay).
  5. Pour the kiwi mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. You should have approximately 3 cups of kiwi puree.
  6. In a separate saucepan, combine the kiwi puree with 4 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  7. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Continue boiling rapidly for 10 minutes, or until the setting point is reached (a small amount dropped onto a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  9. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  10. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  11. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  12. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
