Kiwi is one of the healthiest fruits ever. It is no news that Kiwi fruit is the best source of vitamin C, which means it helps us fight illness and keeps our immune system strong.

Besides, that Kiwi is a rich source of dietary fiber and is super-good for the heart.

You can make so many recipes with Kiwi. You can make a Tart or a pie or a cake or ice cream and etc. But one of the easiest and most enjoyable kiwi recipes is simply a Kiwi Jam.

In our Indian homes, we all need jam for our everyday use. It goes without saying that bread and jam are the most popular breakfast recipe in all of our homes. Along with that, many people eat jam along with stuffed paratha.

What does Kiwi Jam Taste like?

Kiwi as you might know has a tart-y sort of taste. So, the Jam is quite like that but not entirely. Because of sugar, the tart-y texture is significantly reduced and all you are left with is a beautiful taste.

This Homemade Kiwi Jam tastes extremely delicious. You get a beautiful balance of sweet and tart.

And, that gorgeous green color of the Jam is something that you'll fall in love with.

Ingredients You'll Need to Make Kiwi Jam:

• Kiwi fruit -  I have used about 6 baby kiwi fruits to make this Kiwi Jam.
• Sugar and Water - I have used about 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to make the sugar syrup.
• Lemon Juice - I have used just one lemon juice to balance out the excess sweetness of this Kiwi Jam.

How to Make a Kiwi jam at home?

• Melt Sugar & Water: In a non-stick pan over low heat make a sugar syrup of two string consistency.

• Peel and Remove the Stalk of Kiwi: Peel the outer layer of kiwi and remove the stalk from the kiwi.
• Chop Kiwi into bite-sized pieces: Now chop Kiwi into small bite-sized pieces and keep it in a blender.

• Puree: Make a paste. But, try to keep the pieces a little chunky. Don't blend everything into a smooth paste.
• Mix Kiwi Paste with Sugar Syrup: Once your sugar syrup reaches a two-string consistency then add kiwi paste. Mix well using a spatula and simmer on a low flame for at least 20-30 minutes stirring often. This will thicken eventually and will start sticking to the spatula.

• Add Lemon Juice: Finally, Squeeze in some lemon juice and stir it in for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour it in a jar: Once done, pour it in a jar and let it stay on the counter for 24 hours.

How to Store Kiwi Jam?

• Allow Kiwi Jam to stay on the countertop for at least 24 hours.
• Do Not Keep it in the refrigerator right after it is cooked. Allow it to stay at room temperature for about 24 hours.
• After that, you can store your kiwi jam in the refrigerator for about 2-3 months.
