Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 packet pectin optional, for thicker jam

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Jars and lids
  • Funnel
  • Potato Masher
  • Kitchen thermometer

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by hulling and chopping your fresh strawberries into small pieces. Rhubarb should also be chopped into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and water. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients well.
  3. Step 3: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: After simmering, stir in the lemon juice. If you want a thicker jam, add the packet of pectin at this stage and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Once your jam has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars using a funnel. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator.
