This spicy kiwi jam recipe comes together very quickly. It’s best solution when you have too many too ripe kiwi that would go wasted. The ingredients are intended to make one jar, just multiply for how much fruit you have.
An exotic green spread containing only kiwis, apple, lemon juice and sugar. To spice things up, I added some ginger powder (but you can use fresh ginger, too). This add-on makes the jam a bit spicy and ideal to pair with cheese!
Similarly, there are other spices you could add if you want to pair the kiwi jam with cheese. For example: crushed black pepper, curry powder, onion powder or garlic powder.
But whether you will choose the sweet or savory way, think about this recipe when you will have too many kiwis laying around.
