Kiwi fruit Jam

 

Ingredients
3 cups sliced kiwi fruit
1 cup pineapple juice
1 packet pectin
4 cups sugar
A large saucepan
Sterilised jars

Method
Pour the kiwi fruit, pineapple juice and pectin in the large saucepan. Start heating the mixture, and slowly add sugar, stirring vigorously, until dissolved. Bring the kiwi jam to a boil. Keep stirring carefully and remove the occasional foam with a spoon. After 5 minutes, turn off the flame and let the jam set for about 20 minutes. Pour the jam into a sterilized jar, leaving about 1/4 inch free, and cork it. A slightly sour variation can be made by adding 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice! 

Kiwi fruit sorbet 

Ingredients
1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
4 kiwis, peeled and quartered
1/3 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon fine-grated lime zest

Method
Place water, sugar, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted and the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Place the kiwi fruit and lime juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with metal blades. Process until pureed. Pour into a bowl and stir in sugar mixture and lime zest. Transfer to a shallow metal pan and freeze for about an hour just until firm but not rock hard. Scoop the kiwi fruit sorbet into a chilled bowl and whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Place the bowl back in the freezer for another 2 hours until firm enough to scoop and serve.
