Ingredients
  

For the Jam
  • 2 cups strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 package fruit pectin (1.75 oz)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Jar Lifter
  • Canning Jars and Lids
  • Funnel
  • Thermometer

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the strawberries and rhubarb by hulling, chopping, and ensuring the pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  2. Step 2: In a large pot, combine the chopped strawberries and rhubarb. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice, and stir well. Let this mixture sit for about 30 minutes.
  3. Step 3: After 30 minutes, place the pot over medium heat. Stir frequently as you bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Step 4: Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, quickly add the fruit pectin. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until it’s fully dissolved.
  5. Step 5: Continue to boil the mixture for an additional 10 minutes. Stir occasionally, and keep an eye on the consistency.
  6. Step 6: Once the jam has boiled for the required time, remove the pot from heat. Use a spoon to skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  7. Step 7: Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
  8. Step 8: Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a proper seal. Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are finger-tight.
  9. Step 9: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes.
  10. Step 10: Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature. Once cooled, check the seals before storing them in a cool, dark place.

Notes

Homemade jams make wonderful gifts. Ensure jars are sterilized to prevent spoilage.
