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.
    3. Ladle jam into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars; adjust lids. Process in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars; cool on racks. Makes about 6 half-pint jars.
