i followed this recipe exactly, but only the bottoms of every container set. i am left with 5 cups of sauce and less than 1 cup of actual jam. i don't know what went wrong.

Sorry to give such a low review but this didn't turn out for me at all. I followed the recipe exactly and was looking forward to the end result. However, this did not set up at all, even after a couple of months....

I altered this one a bit to make it into a cooked and shelf stable recipe. I increased the strawberries to 3 1/2 cups, the kiwi to 1 1/2 cups and the sugar to 7 cups. I combined the fruit and pectin and brought it to a boil and then added the sugar, returned it to a boil and boiled it for 1 minute. I ladled it into hot steril jars and capped them and processed them in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. I got 8 half-pint jars. It is very tasty. You can taste the strawberry over the kiwi but there is a hint of the kiwi there.

This is a delicious jam, and a very pretty color. The recipe is for a refrigerated jam, and because I have a large family and can't afford to take up extra space in the fridge for 7 jars, I adjusted the recipe slightly to make it a cooked jam.
