Kiwifruit jam

Kiwifruit jam is a sweet, tangy spread made by cooking down kiwifruit pulp with sugar and often a splash of lemon juice. It transforms the vibrant green fruit into a glossy, seed-speckled preserve enjoyed on toast, pastries, or as a glaze. While kiwifruit itself is native to China, this style of jam is a popular homemade or artisanal product worldwide.
