Preparation Time:
10 minutes
Cooking Time:
20–25 minutes
Makes: Approximately 1 small jar

Ingredients:
4-5 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method:
Peel and finely chop the kiwis.
Transfer the chopped kiwi to a heavy-bottom pan.
Add sugar and mix well.
Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
Add lemon juice and mix well.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
To check doneness, place a small drop of jam on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed, the jam is ready.

Allow the jam to cool completely.
Transfer to a clean, sterilized glass jar and refrigerate.
Tips:
Use ripe but firm kiwis for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
For a smoother texture, lightly mash the kiwi while cooking.
