Strawberry-Kiwi Jam
Ingredients
-
3
cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
-
3
medium fresh kiwifruit, peeled and finely chopped
-
1
1 3/4 ounce package powdered fruit pectin
-
1
tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
-
1
tablespoon butter
-
1
tablespoon lemon juice
-
1
teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
Dash salt
-
5
cups sugar
Directions
1. In a medium bowl slightly mash strawberries. In a Dutch oven combine strawberries, kiwifruit, pectin, crystallized ginger, butter, lemon juice, orange peel, and salt. Heat on medium-high, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
2. Add sugar. Return to boiling; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim off foam with a metal spoon.

I made a batch and gave it away as gifts!! Love it!! The only problem I had is that after processing in the water bath, it separated a little bit such that I ended up with a layer of syrup at the bottom... Delicious though!! Make sure you chop the ginger VERY small!

I made a couple of tweaks based on my tastes and what I had on hand, including using 6 cups of fruit and only 4 cups of sugar. With pectin designed for low-sugar recipes, this set up perfectly. Thanks, Sher and BHG! http://mariahskitchen.com/strawberry-kiwi-jam
