How to Make Strawberry Kiwi Jam

Crystallized ginger adds the special flavor to strawberry kiwi jam. This simple version makes four 12 oz. jars of the jam. It does require crushed strawberries, which can be done in a blender. Put whole or sliced berries in the blender and press pulse.

Things You'll Need

• 3 cups crushed strawberries
• 3 kiwi, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. crystallized ginger
• 1 package Natural Fruit Pectin
• 5 cups sugar
• 8 to 10 qt. saucepan

Instructions

1. Combine the crushed strawberries, kiwi, lemon juice, crystallized ginger, and pectin in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and stir it constantly.

2. Add sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Return the mixture to a rolling boil for 1 minute and stir constantly.

3. Remove the jam from the heat. Skim any foam off the top.

4. Ladle the jam into canning jars. Leave 1/4-inch of head space in each jar. Cap the jars with lids. If the jars do not seal on their own, process them for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
