Rhubarb jam with Recipe

It's that time again for Fresh Jam!

I made Strawberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam again with my homegrown Rhubarb Memorial Day Weekend!

See here for last year's adventure.

First get all of your stuff together.

2 c. sliced rhubarb  (I used more)
1/2 c. water
1 box powdered pectin
5 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. crushed strawberries  (I used more)

Wash out your FREEZER SAFE jars. 

(I didn't boil them this year, didn't have to the 1st time either, but I did)

Prep your Fruit. Clearly you can see mine is all still a bit chunky.

Add your Rhubarb, Water and Pectin to the pan.

Cook for 5-6 minutes until pectin is dissolved and rhubarb is tender.

Stir occasionally.

Add sugar...

Yeah it's a lot of sugar...

After a minute this is what you get. 

Keep stirring until fully dissolved and starts to boil.

After it starts to gently boil, keep stirring for another 3 minutes.

  

Add your crushed Strawberries and mix.

Ladle into your jars.

Let stand at room temp until set.

I had mine out for a while.

Store in the freezer until ready to eat. 

Or keep in the fridge if you will be giving them to friends within the week.
