Ingredients
Method
- Wash and chop rhubarb and strawberries into small pieces.
- Add fruit, sugar, and lemon juice to a large heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves and fruit releases liquid.
- Bring mixture to a steady boil and continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, stirring often.
- Skim off excess foam if needed during cooking.
- Test jam by placing a spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles slightly when pushed, it is ready.
- Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims clean, apply lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if canning for shelf storage.
- Let jars cool completely before storing.
Notes
Store sealed jars in a cool pantry for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening and use within 3 weeks. Jam thickens more as it cools, so avoid overcooking trying to make it thick immediately.
