Title: Kiwi fruit
Post by: garrybaldi on May 06, 2009, 05:04:37 pm

My kids go through fads with kiwi fruit where they can't get enough one minute and then they won't touch them so they go to waste. Just wondered if anyone had ever used them for jam or another type of preserve?

I've never tried it but have seen it in shops.  If I see any on offer I might have a go - there's bound to be a recipe on t'intenet  ;D

One good use for any surplus fruit is to just add it into a batch of chutney. If you don't mind being a bit experimental then adding some kiwis and a few soft bananas (or what ever is lurking at the bottom of the fruit bowl) will add to the overall fruitiness while not adding to strong a flavour.
