Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Remove stems from strawberries, wash and slice them in half. Mash fruit with a potato masher for best results. If you use a food processor, pulse to chop. DO NOT PUREE. The jam should have large bits of fruit, if desired. You must have EXACTLY 3 cups of MASHED strawberries.
  2. Spoon out the fruit from halved kiwi fruit then mash. You must have EXACTLY 1 cup of MASHED kiwi fruit.
  3. Combine the mashed strawberries and kiwi together in a bowl; add the lemon zest and stir until combined.
  4. Add exactly 3 cups of sugar, 1 cup of water, and one packet of pectin to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  5. Quickly stir mashed strawberries, kiwi, and lemon zest (totaling 4 cups exactly) into the hot sugar mixture. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  6. Pour into clean containers, leaving 1/2 inch space at the top for expansion during freezing; cover. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours until set. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Otherwise, store in the freezer for up to 1 year.
  7. Note: If you are using different pectin than the one pictured above (Sure-Jell for use in less or no sugar), you need to follow the instructions from your pectin package, not this recipe. Different pectin’s call for different amounts of sugar and fruit.
