How to Make Kiwi Lime Jam

  1. Peel 1 pound of ripe kiwis, quarter them, and roughly chop.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped kiwis with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir well.
  3. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Add the juice and zest of 1 lime. Mix well.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil rapidly for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. The jam should thicken considerably.
  6. To test for setting point, place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate. Let it cool for a minute; if it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  7. Carefully spoon the hot jam into sterilized, air-tight jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  8. Seal the jars tightly. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for longer shelf life) or let cool completely and refrigerate.
  9. Refrigerated jam will keep for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy on toast, with cheese, or in your favorite recipes!
