Categories     Canning

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 pounds kiwis, peeled and chopped
4 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice (or lime juice)

Steps:

  • Peel and chop kiwis, and place them in a deep saucepan with sugar and citrus juice. Jam bubbles during cooking, be sure you have enough headspace to avoid overflows.
  • Cook the kiwi jam for about 10-15 minutes, until it reaches gel stage. Test for it on a plate placed in the freezer, or with a kitchen thermometer (220 degrees F).
  • Ladle the finished kiwi jam into jars, leaving a small 1/4 inch headspace. De-bubble the jars, adjust headspace and then cap with 2 part lids.
  • For a fridge or freezer jam, allow the jars to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • If canning, process in a water bath canner for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water for an additional 5 minutes before removing them to cool. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator, and place the sealed jars in the pantry. Sealed jars should last 12-18 months without losing quality.

This is a great way to make jam because it's simple, lower in sugar, and lets the flavor of ripe fruit shine. Our method makes it a cinch to save the last of your favorite summer produce, like nectarines, plums, or berries. The key ingredient is pectin, which gives this jam the right consistency. The recipe is so easy, you might just need a second freezer!

Yield Makes 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 cups crushed plums, peaches, or nectarines (about 3 pounds fruit), any bruised spots cut away

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruits for the best jam. Overripe or bruised fruits will not produce a high-quality jam.
  • Use a variety of fruits to create a unique and delicious jam. Tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, and bananas pair well together.
  • Add a little bit of citrus juice, such as lemon or lime, to brighten the flavor of the jam. You can also add spices like cinnamon or ginger for a more complex flavor.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the fruits. This will make the jam smooth and consistent.
  • Cook the jam over medium heat, stirring frequently. This will prevent the jam from burning or sticking to the pot.
  • Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
  • Transfer the jam to clean jars and seal them tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed.

Tropical fruit freezer jam is a delicious and easy way to preserve your favorite tropical fruits. It is a great way to enjoy the flavors of summer all year long.
