Hello, I want to thank everyone involved in setting up this community and inviting me to join. I was so excited when I found the link to the community a few minutes a go. T H A N K Y O U!
I also want to say hello and welcome to anyone new here who happens upon this post. 👋 Big wave hello to you.
And I wanted to introduce myself with a favorite recipe:
KIWI JAM
This is flavorful so a little bit goes a long way.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 kiwis, peeled
- 1 TBSP lime juice
- 1 tsp finely grated lime zest
- 1–2 tsp sweetener of choice (optional but recommended; taste to adjust sweetness to preference)
- 2 TBSP water
- ¼–½ tsp agar powder (¼ tsp = soft, spreadable whereas 1/2 tsp - firmer, more marmalade-like)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Peel Kiwi. Coarsely chop. Add sweetener of choice.
- Let this mixture rest for 10 minutes to draw out the kiwi juice.
- Add lime and zest.
- Simmer gently 5 minutes.
- Activate the agar by mixing it with 2 TBSP water.
- Bring to a full boil for 20–30 seconds to activate the agar.
- Use an immersion blender to blend (or a masher to mash) to desired texture.
- Seal in an air-tight jar and after cooling store in fridge.
Serving ideas: spread on toast, crackers, muffins, tortilla, or use in a cup of soy milk as a flavor or in a shake/smoothie.
