Note
Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for longer storage. Ensure jars are clean and dry before pouring.
For best results, use ripe, fresh strawberries and kiwi. The natural pectin in the fruit works with the added pectin to create a smooth gel.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, allow the jam to set in the refrigerator for the full 24 hours before serving.
