Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 2 cups strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped
Preservatives
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 packet fruit pectin (1.75 oz)

Equipment

  • Boiling Water Bath Canner

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, combine the hulled and chopped strawberries with the chopped rhubarb.
  2. Step 2: Pour in the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir well to ensure the fruits are coated with sugar. Let this mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the fruits to macerate.
  3. Step 3: After 30 minutes, place the pot over medium heat. Stir frequently as the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Step 4: Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, add the fruit pectin and continue to boil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  6. Step 6: Carefully pour the hot jam into your sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
  7. Step 7: Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue, then place the lids on top and screw on the bands until they are fingertip tight.
  8. Step 8: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  9. Step 9: After processing, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely.
