Prepare kiwis by peeling and chopping them into small pieces.

Cook the mixture until the kiwis soften, about 10-15 minutes.

Add sugar and stir until fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix lemon juice and pectin until smooth.

Stir the pectin mixture into the kiwi mixture.

Continue cooking while stirring for another 5-10 minutes until thickened.

Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring to combine.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to jars.

Seal jars while still warm and allow to cool completely at room temperature.

Store in the refrigerator for up to a month or process for longer shelf life.
