KIWI JAM

Steps:

• Peel and dice kiwis, cutting out the core if you're short on time (or want something that's more of a jelly than a jam).
• Putting the kiwis, water, sugar and lime juice in a large saucepan, set it on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Let simmer on low under a lid for 30-45 minutes (if you left in the cores) or until soft (10-15 without cores).
• Take off the lid and let reduce to thickened consistency (it'll be a bit of a jelly now).
• Either put through a food processor, or very gently whisk until it's as smooth or lumpy as you want it (kiwi napalm burns, kids).
• Put in a container and refrigerate (will keep up to 2 weeks), use on pancakes, toast, cake, anywhere you like.
