Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c crushed strawberries
2 c chopped rhubarb
1 pkg powdered pectin
1/4 c lemon juice
5 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Sterilize 1/2 pint jars and lids.
  • 2. Combine strawberries, rhubarb, lemon juice and pectin in a large saucepan (it will foam up, so use a large pan.) Bring to a boil.
  • 3. Add sugar, stir to dissolve. Return to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring all the time.
  • 4. Ladle hot jam into jars leaving 1/4" space at the top. Wipe the rim of the jars with a damp paper towel to remove any jam. Adjust lids and rings (not over tight.)
  • 5. Process 10 minutes in a water bath canner. *A very large stockpot with a tight lid will work just fine if you don't have a canner.
