Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Jar Lifter

  • Sterilized Jars

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the fruit: Start by hulling and halving the strawberries. Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
  2. Step 2: Cook the fruit: In a large pot, combine the strawberries and rhubarb. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Add sugar and lemon juice: Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Continue to cook until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate fruit pectin: Sprinkle the fruit pectin into the mixture and stir well. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat: After boiling, remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Step 6: Jar the jam: Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  7. Step 7: Seal the jars: Place the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until they are fingertip-tight.
  8. Step 8: Process the jars: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  9. Step 9: Cool and store: Allow the jars to cool completely and check the seals by pressing down in the center of each lid.
