Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) pectin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and chop strawberries and rhubarb. Place them in a large pot and mix with sugar.
- Step 2: Let the fruit sit for 10-15 minutes to release juices. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Step 3: Add pectin and lemon juice, stir, and bring to a boil. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Step 4: Test the jam for doneness using the plate test. If the jam wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
- Step 5: Pour the jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and let it cool.
Notes
- Ensure jars are sterilized before use.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar content.
