Combine Ingredients. In a small pot or saucepan, combine the diced kiwi fruit, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and water. Stir the mixture well.
6 kiwis, ½ lemon, 1 cup white sugar, 1 pinch salt, ¼ cup water
Heat & stir. Heat the mixture on medium-high heat and bring to boil. Mix constantly to prevent burning.
Cook Until Thickened. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. The jam should be getting thicker and gelatinous.
Test. To check your jam has set, place a small amount on a wooden spoon or spatula. Lift the spoon and tilt it horizontally. The jam should not be runny but rather fall in a sheet-like drop.
Store. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized glass jars. Leave about ½ inch headspace. Seal them tightly and let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the fridge.

Serving ideas - serve with pancakes, waffles, muffins, cookies, scones, bread buns & more.

Choose ripe kiwi. They will taste better and contain more natural pectin (helping the jam set).

Chop evenly. Peel the skin and chop the kiwi into even-sized pieces. This will create a consistent texture.

Don't overcook. If the kiwi sets too thick, it will be difficult to spread or even get out of the jar.

Adjust the sweetness. This jam isn't overly sweet. However, you can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar.
