Description
Delicious, tangy Homemade Kiwi Jam made with just four ingredients! Enjoy this jam by itself or on top of a piece of toast for a delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 kiwis (475g), finely chopped
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5g) lemon juice
- Pinch of kosher salt (1g)
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine kiwis, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Heat mixture over high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula. Once the mixture starts to bubble up, reduce the heat down to medium-low.
- Cook the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until the jam is thick and viscous. To test if the jam is ready, I usually like to run my spatula along the bottom of the pot in a straight line. If it takes more than a second for the line to fill back up, the jam is usually ready. I like to err on the side of caution and take the jam off almost too early—if it's not done yet, you can always return it back to the heat.
- Once ready, remove the pot from the heat and transfer the jam to a heatproof container. Let the jam cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the fridge.
- Stored properly in an airtight container in the fridge, this jam will usually last for two months.
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the jam or it will set too hard! Remember that the jam will continue to cook once you take it off the heat, so you just want to remove it once it starts to thicken.
- If you'd prefer a smoother texture for your jam, you can blend it with an immersion blender while it's cooking to break the chunks of kiwi up.
- I always like to make my jam in smaller amounts so that it doesn’t spoil. You can even cut this recipe in half if you want a smaller amount of jam.
