Equipment

1 1.5-quart saucepan non-reactive metal, like stainless steel
1 fine mesh sieve non-reactive metal, like stainless steel
1 set of measuring cups thermal shock-resistent material, like thick glass.
1 silicone spatula I love using GIR brand
1 small cutting board for slicing kiwi
1 pairing knife for slicing kiwi
1 spoon or vegetable peeler for peeling kiwi

Ingredients

6 whole kiwi fruits use more fruit for a stronger flavor, you can use up to 10!
200 grams granulated sugar 1 cup
8 ounces filtered water 1 cup

Instructions

Peel and slice your kiwis. The easiest way to peel a kiwi is to slice of both ends, and use a spoon to peel the fruit! Push a spoon into one end of the kiwi, and rotate it until it comes free from the peel. No veggie peelers needed!
Slice the peeled kiwi into quarters. Set them aside.
In a 1.5 quart saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add in the kiwi and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, then add in the lemon juice.
Continue to cook the syrup for about 15 - 20 minutes, until the kiwi have lost most of their color and the liquid has taken on the color of the kiwis.
After 15-20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool for up to 30 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve, and discard the solids.
Store your syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
