How to Make Bluebarb Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups blueberries and 4 cups chopped rhubarb in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Add 7 cups sugar and mix well, ensuring all the fruit is coated.
  3. Place the saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  4. Boil hard for 1 minute, continuing to stir vigorously.
  5. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 package (1 1/4 ounce) liquid pectin.
  6. Stir continuously and skim off any foam for 6-7 minutes.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude – consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  9. Remove jars and let cool completely. You'll have 8-9 half-pints of delicious Bluebarb Jam!
