Ingredients
- 8 whole (ripe) Kiwis
- 3 whole Fresh jalapenos
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Powdered pectin
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the kiwis and dice them into small chunks. Place them in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2
Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos for a milder jam, or leave some seeds in for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapenos and add them to the saucepan with the kiwi.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, lime juice, water, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the kiwi breaks down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the powdered pectin into the saucepan and stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes to activate the pectin. This will help the jam thicken further.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool for 10-15 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the jam into sterilized jars or airtight containers and let it cool completely before sealing.
Step 9
Refrigerate the jars of jam and consume within 3-4 weeks, or process the jars in a water bath for long-term shelf storage.
