Ingredients

• 6 large (about 2 pounds) Kiwi
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the kiwis using a knife or vegetable peeler and cut them into small cubes.

Step 2

Place the diced kiwis and the water in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kiwis break down and soften (about 10 minutes).

Step 3

Mash the kiwis using a potato masher or the back of a spoon to release their juices. You can leave small chunks for texture if preferred.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 6

Continue boiling the mixture for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to thicken. You can test the consistency by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, the jam is ready.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the jam to cool slightly, then transfer it into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.

Step 8

Seal the jars with lids and let them cool completely at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator or a cool, dry place.
