Strawberry-Kiwi Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups crushed strawberries
    3 kiwi fruits, peeled and diced
    1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger
    1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered pectin
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    5 cups sugar
    1/2 teaspoon butter
Preparation
    Hull the strawberries and crush them one layer at a time (I usually do this with a potato masher in an 8x8 baking dish in about 3 batches.) Peel and dice the kiwi fruits.
    Combine the crushed strawberries, diced kiwi, crystallized ginger, powdered pectin and lemon juice in a large stockpot.
    Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar and butter, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    Remove from heat and ladle the hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps.
    Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner (adjust for altitude).
