4. Thicken the Jam
Continue to simmer the mixture for another 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. The natural pectin in the kiwis will help the mixture thicken. If you want to sweeten your jam, add honey to taste and stir well to combine.
5. Test the Consistency
To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a plate and let it cool for a minute. If it holds its shape and is not too runny, it’s done. If it’s still too liquid, continue simmering for a few more minutes and test again.
6. Store the Jam
Once your jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars and seal them tightly. Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator.
