  • 3 cups strawberries, cleaned and hulled
  • 3 cups kiwi fruit, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 6 cups sugar

Instructions
 

  • Makes 6-8 pints or 3 quarts of canned concentrate

  • Transfer strawberry/kiwi puree to a stainless steel saucepan over medium-high heat. DO NOT BOIL. Add lemon juice and sugar and stir to combine. 
  • Using a thermometer heat to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally. Because this recipe has sugar it will get to temperature rather quickly so keep your eye on the thermometer. Remove from heat. 
  • Ladle mixture into jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rim, add hot lids and tighten rings just finger tight. Process in water bath canner at a boil for 15 minutes.
  • To reconstitute, mix one part concentrate with one part water, tonic water or ginger ale. Adjust concentrate to suit your taste.  
  • **If you do not want to process this concentrate in canning jars, freeze the concentrate in 1 to 2 cup portions.
