Ingredients

• 6 medium (ripe) Kiwi
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon White rum
• 1 tablespoon Powdered pectin
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest

Directions

Step 1

Peel the kiwis and chop them into small pieces. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the kiwi pieces slightly, leaving some chunkiness for texture.

Step 2

In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mashed kiwi, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the powdered pectin in the cup of water. Stir the mixture well to avoid clumps.

Step 4

Add the pectin mixture to the saucepan with the kiwi and sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat slightly and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes. Continue stirring to avoid scorching and to check the consistency.

Step 7

To test for the correct consistency, spoon a small amount of jam onto a chilled plate and let it cool for a moment. If it gels and holds its shape when you run your finger through it, the jam is ready.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the white rum. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 9

Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean and seal with lids.

Step 10

Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed for storage.

Step 11

Let the jars cool completely on a towel or wire rack. Check the seals once cooled. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
