About this recipe
Apple and kiwi jam Thermomix TM7 recipes bring a surprising tropical twist to your breakfast table, combining mellow cooking apples with vibrant green kiwi and a splash of lemon juice. Searching for a reliable jam recipe for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 handles the whole process in one bowl, from crushing the fruit to cooking the preserve to a perfect set. The apples contribute natural pectin, which helps the jam thicken beautifully, while the kiwi adds a fresh, slightly tangy flavour that lifts this spread far above ordinary supermarket jams. This preserve is a wonderful weekend project for breakfast lovers, a thoughtful homemade gift in pretty sterilised jars, and a clever way to use up a glut of apples in autumn. Stir it into porridge, layer it on pancakes, or simply enjoy it thickly spread on warm buttered toast.
Preparation tips
- Use ripe but firm kiwi fruits and tart cooking apples for the best flavour balance; overly soft kiwi turns mushy and makes the jam watery rather than nicely set.
- Always use jam sugar rather than ordinary sugar, as it contains pectin which guarantees the apple and kiwi mixture sets properly. Test the set by placing a spoonful on a cold saucer before jarring.
- Pour the hot jam into thoroughly sterilised jars, fill to the brim, seal immediately and invert for a minute. Store in a cool dark cupboard and refrigerate after opening to keep the kiwi flavour fresh.
Recipe variations
- For a festive winter version, add a pinch of ground ginger or a split vanilla pod to the apple and kiwi mixture while it cooks, then remove before jarring for a gently spiced Christmas preserve.
- A kid-friendly berry variation replaces half the kiwi with strawberries, giving a sweeter, rosier jam that spreads beautifully on sandwiches and appeals to younger tastes at breakfast.
