By taking Fresh (or Frozen) Strawberries & Rhubarb and adding a few simple ingredients, then cooking it as we go over in the Recipe, you end up with a Beautiful & Delicious Homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Jam. Add some of this tasty Strawberry Rhubarb Jam to your favorite PB&J Sandwich, English Muffin or on a fresh Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit...Yum!
Ingredients
- 8 Cups Strawberries (@ 6 lbs)
- 8 Cups Rhubarb (Chopped into 1/2" pieces) (@ 12 Stalks)
- 6 Tbl Pectin
- 1 Cup Lemon Juice
- 9 Cups of Sugar
Instructions
- Combine Strawberries, Rhubarb, Pectin & Lemon Juice into a Dutch oven or cooking pot. Use a Meat Masher to help break up the large Strawberries & Rhubarb to release some of their juices.
- Bring Mixture up to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking/scorching.
- Use a Potato Masher once the Strawberries & Rhubarb have softened, to help release more juices and get the Strawberries & Rhubarb to the size you desire.
- Add Sugar and stir until it dissolves, then bring up to a boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking/scorching.
- Once the Strawberry Rhubarb Jam reaches its gelling point of @ 220 Degrees (takes @ 45 min - 1 hour), remove Jam from the heat & ladle into warm jars (1/2 Pint) leaving a 1/4" headspace.
- Wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
- Place jars into water bath canner for processing, making sure water covers the jars by an inch or two. The minimum processing time is 10 min; add time as necessary based on your altitude.
- Once processing is complete, let the jars sit in the water bath canner for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
- After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
- If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
Notes
- If you like a really firm jam, you can add more Pectin. This is a Quadruple Batch of Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, so the Pectin amount can be increased to 4x this amount if necessary for your desired thickness. I prefer the consistency using 6 Tbl total.
- This Recipe, being a Quadruple Batch, uses 2 1/4 Cups of Sugar per batch, which results in a nicely Sweet yet Tart Jam. If you like it a little sweeter, you can use 3 Cups per batch (12 Cups total).
- I typically use 1/2 Pint (8 oz) jars for my Homemade Jams. However, having a few 4 oz jars of Homemade Jam make the perfect size for sharing or adding to Gift Baskets!
