You’ll love this delightful Kiwi Jam! With just three ingredients, you can enjoy yummy jam that’s full of kiwi flavor.
Kiwi Jam Recipe Without Pectin
Making kiwi jam is so simple and fun! You just cook kiwis down with sugar and lemon juice until they’re soft and jammy. It’s an easy process that doesn’t take much time at all.
The best part about kiwi jam is its incredible flavor! Kiwis are naturally sweet and tangy, and when they’re cooked into jam, that flavor intensifies even more. Each spoonful bursts with the fresh taste of ripe kiwis, making it perfect for spreading on toast, topping yogurt, or even drizzling over ice cream. Plus, since it’s homemade, you can adjust the sweetness to your liking, ensuring that every bite is packed with delicious kiwi goodness!

How To Make Kiwi Jam
First peel the kiwis and chop off the stem ends.
Add peeled kiwis to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Press the “pulse” button until the kiwi is coarsely blended (about 20 pulses).
Once the kiwi is blended to your liking, open up the food processor and pour the kiwi into a pot on the stovetop.
Add 3/4 cup of sugar and juice from 1/4 of a lemon (approximately) to the pot.
Heat the pot to high and stir the mixture.
Watch the pot, and as soon as the kiwi mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to simmer.
Cook the kiwi mixture until it thickens, keeping the heat as low as possible while ensuring that the liquid is still bubbling. Stir every 30 seconds to avoid burning the kiwi jam.
Kiwi jam should be thick in about 30 minutes. At this point, turn off the heat.
Pour the jam into a jar to store or serve immediately.
Cooking Tips:
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can mince the fruit with a knife
- Texture is up to you… you can make the kiwi puree completely smooth or leave some chunks of kiwi
- Cooking time can depend on the kiwis—some take longer to cook
Does Kiwi Have Pectin In It?
Yes, kiwis do contain pectin. This is why you can make kiwi jam without adding pectin.
Where To Store Kiwis—the countertop or the fridge?
Kiwis are best stored in the fridge. The cooler temperature helps the kiwi to stay fresh longer.
What To Serve With Kiwi Jam
Flavorful kiwi jam is perfect for adding to breakfast dishes like Greek Yogurt Oatmeal, French Toast Without Eggs, or Muffin Mix Pancakes.
Or spread it on homemade treats like Lemon Bundt Cake From Duncan Hines Cake Mix, Bisquick Banana Bread, or Honey Cake Recipe.
