Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries washed and thinly sliced
- 3 cups fresh rhubarb washed and thinly sliced
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sliced rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Set the heat to medium and cook slowly until the fruits start breaking down and the mixture thickens, which may take about 20-25 minutes. Stir gently, being cautious of bubbling.
- To test for doneness, drop a teaspoon of jam onto a plate. Run a finger through it; if it stays separated, it is done. If it runs together, cook longer.
- Remove the jam from heat once thickened and let it cool for about 10 minutes while preparing jars.
- Sterilize jars and lids by washing them thoroughly in hot water.
- Ladle the jam into the jars and secure the lids. Let them cool to the touch before refrigerating.
- Clean any spilled jam from the jars before sealing.
Notes
Ensure fruits are fresh for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness level.
Store jam in the refrigerator for up to one month.
