If you haven’t tried kiwi jam yet, you are in for a real treat!

Kiwis are such delicious fruits and many people have never even considered making jam from them! They make the perfect jam and hold up well during the canning process!

I love making kiwi jam when the kiwis come into season. You can then enjoy the taste of kiwi all year long on scones, breads and more!

Preparing The Kiwis For Kiwi Jam

In order to prepare the kiwis for the jam, you need to know how you want the jam to turn out.

If you want a chunkier jam, you will cut the kiwis into larger cubes. If you want a smoother jam, you will cut the kiwis into smaller pieces.

How big or small you cut the fruit depends on how chunky or smooth the kiwi jam will turn out.

In order to cut the kiwi, the best method I have found is to slice it in half down the middle width-wise.

Then, using a spoon, scoop out the fruit. Go along the edges with the spoon and push down under the middle and the entire half of the kiwi should easily come out.

This is how I eat kiwis in general and is the perfect way to scoop them out.

Then, once you scoop out the half, just dice the fruit to the size that you want!

How To Make The Kiwi Jam

Once you dice the fruit to the size that you want, it is time to make the kiwi jam!

In a large pot, heat your kiwi, 2 cups of sugar, and lemon juice (you can also add lime if you prefer) and slowly bring the mixture to a boil.

Allow the mixture of kiwi, sugar, and juice to cook for 20 minutes.

While the mixture is cooking, you will want to sterilize small jars to use as containers for the jam.

That is it!

To store the kiwi jam, spoon hot jam into the hot sterilized jars and leave about 1/2 inch of space between the jam and the lid.

Cool the jam to room temperature and place lids on the jar using clean hands.

Now you can freeze your kiwi jam for up to one year to enjoy it during any season!
