Sometimes it is a lot of fun to try something new. I had a chance to get kiwi, pineapple and limes from our local produce wholesalers and I jumped at the chance to try some Pineapple Kiwi Jam. It has a twist of lime in it as well, so I used all of the things and the jam came out great!
I've gotten pretty brave about trying new combinations of jam over the years. You have to be careful in order to get a jammy set. But the great thing about jam is pancake syrup and ice cream toppings are what you get when it doesn't gel just right, so it is still a win! Lately, I've been having a lot of success with the set though and I can share a few tips with you.
Jam Setting Tips
Jam is really very easy to make, I love to make it and to enjoy some toast and jam every so often, or in a delicious peanut butter sandwich. Oh! And these jam muffins, SO YUMMY! I hope you will be brave enough to try jam making on your own!
This Pineapple Kiwi Jam was pretty quick to make. My recipe uses 12 kiwi, peeled and chopped. That probably took the longest, but wasn't that bad at all. And, because I have a pineapple peeler, corer, slicer, the pineapple came together in a snap! Save as much juice as you can from the pineapple to add to the flavor. I used my lime zester and lime squeezer for the limes of course. And, to make my jam not quite so chunky, I used an immersion blender.
Okay! Here is the recipe! I hope you enjoy it!
*Keep an eye out! We will soon be publishing an e-book of our favorite and original jam recipes!

Thank you for your support. A week ago, my husband and I went up to spend some time with some of our grandchildren. Since we have decided to do a weekly "Cooking with Kids" post through the summer, I thought this would be a perfect time to cook with these younger kids and have my husband video the event. It was a blast! Unfortunately, the camera stopped working correctly for my husband as he filmed. Mainly user error, but at any rate, we didn't get the entire process on film. But, my grandchildren are so cute that I had to put together this little video to show you how much fun it is to cook with kids. Teaching kids to cook is a self esteem builder, it is a great skill for them to learn, it is math practice, it gives them confidence, it is science, the list goes on. Most of all, I just love the times I spent cooking with my own children and now my grandchildren. Speaking of confidence, my two oldest granddaughters are gaining so much confidence when it comes to baking that they are inventing their own recipes! You will remember Jayda who taught you how to make Brookies on this post. She and her older sister called me the other day to show me that they had created their own ginger cookie/cake concoction and they were chowing down on it sitting on the floor of their bedroom as they talked about boys! LOL It made me happy to see two sisters getting along and having fun together baking and talking. We all know that making food together builds ties. I hope that you are making cooking and baking memories with your kids and/or grandkids! We will have more videos and recipes to inspire you as the summer progresses!

I have a new toy in my kitchen! Many of you may have already had one for years, but I recently purchased a Food Saver after waffling about getting one for a long time! I have been having so much fun with this thing!
