STRAWBERRY-KIWI JAM

Steps:

• Rinse six 1-cup plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. In a large bowl, mash berries; transfer to a Dutch oven. Add kiwi, lemon juice and ginger. Stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly., Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. , Remove from heat; skim off foam. Immediately fill all containers to within 1/2 in. of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and let stand at room temperature 24 hours., Jam is now ready to use. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 12 months. Thaw frozen jam in refrigerator before serving.

STRAWBERRY JAM WITH KIWI

Steps:

• Wash, dry, hull and stem berries, then dice into 1/2-inch pieces, about 8 cups.
• Peel and dice the kiwi into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Stir together the berries, kiwi, sugar and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the mint, and split and add the vanilla bean, if using.
• Cover and leave out to macerate for 2 hours, or refrigerate up to 1 day, until ready to cook.
• To process the jam for longer shelf life, begin by sterilizing the jars. (If you want to skip canning, the jam keeps in the refrigerator for up to a month; jump to Step 7.) Place a round rack or a folded kitchen towel in a large pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Add 5 half-pint canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water until ready to be filled. (Alternatively, sterilize jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle.)
• Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add lids to soften gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in water until jars are filled.
• In a large, heavy, nonreactive pot, add the berry mixture. Clip on a candy thermometer. Bring to medium-high, stir often as mixture comes to a boil. When it reaches a hard boil, stir relentlessly.
• Cook on medium-high heat, being careful to keep stirring to avoid sticking and burning as the mixture thickens. Adjust heat as needed if the jam begins to spit, without losing the boil. Continue to stir. The mixture will be very foamy.
• After 30 to 40 minutes, the jam will reach 210 degrees; the jam will be thick and the foam on the surface will begin to dissipate, showing clear preserves below. Add the butter and stir well; most of the foam will break up. Scoop off any remaining foam with a clean spoon. Turn off heat and discard the mint. The vanilla bean may be reused. If you're making refrigerator jam, the preserves are ready and can be stored in a jar.
• If you are processing the jam in sealed jars to keep up to a year in the pantry, carefully ladle the hot preserves into warm jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space. Run a plastic knife gently around inside of jar to remove any air bubbles. Recheck head space. Wipe jar rims clean with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into pot of boiling water. Return to full boil and boil jars for 10 minutes. Transfer jars to a folded towel and let cool for 12 hours; you should hear them ping as they seal.
• Once cool, test seals by removing rings and lifting jars by their flat lids. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. (Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed.) To reprocess, reheat syrup to boiling then continue as before.

STRAWBERRY KIWI JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk the sugar and pectin in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Combine strawberries, kiwi, lemon juice, crystallized ginger, and calcium water in a large heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add butter and sugar pectin mixture and return the fruit mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for one minute.
• Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the surface of the jam with a cold metal spoon. Ladle the jam into hot sterilized jars and process them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Allow the jars to cool in the hot water for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a counter top, tilting and turning occasionally to evenly distribute the fruit.

STRAWBERRY-KIWI JAM

Steps:

• Hull the strawberries and crush them one layer at a time (I usually do this with a potato masher in an 8x8 baking dish in about 3 batches.) Peel and dice the kiwi fruits.
• Combine the crushed strawberries, diced kiwi, crystallized ginger, powdered pectin and lemon juice in a large stockpot.
• Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar and butter, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and ladle the hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps.
• Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner (adjust for altitude).

FRESH STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over very low heat for 10 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Add the strawberries and continue to cook over very low heat for 20 minutes, until the strawberries release some of their juices and the mixture boils slowly. Cook until a small amount of the juice gels on a very cold plate. (I keep one in the freezer.) Pour carefully into 2 pint canning jars and either seal or keep refrigerated. Use immediately, or follow proper canning guidelines below.
• Sterilizing Tips:
• Jars should be made from glass and free of any chips or cracks. Preserving or canning jars are topped with a glass, plastic, or metal lid, which has a rubber seal. Two piece lids are best for canning, as they vacuum seal when processed.
• To sterilize jars, before filling with jams, pickles, or preserves, wash jars and lids with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and arrange jars and lids open sides up, without touching, on a tray. Leave in a preheated 175 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Or, boil the jars and lids in a large saucepan, covered with water, for 15 minutes.
• Use tongs when handling the hot sterilized jars, to move them from either boiling water or the oven. Be sure the tongs are sterilized too, by dipping the ends in boiling water for a few minutes.
• As a rule, hot preserves go into hot jars and cold preserves go into cold jars. All items used in the process of making jams, jellies, and preserves must be clean. This includes any towels used, and especially your hands.
• After the jars are sterilized, you can preserve the food. It is important to follow any canning and processing instructions included in the recipe and refer to USDA guidelines about the sterilization of canned products.
