Blueberry Rhubarb Bluebarb Jam Recipe

A unique and surprisingly delicious jam recipe! This family favorite combines the tartness of rhubarb and blueberries with a hint of mystery from the addition of bluebarb (likely a typo for blueberry, maintaining the original intent). Easy to make with both fresh or frozen ingredients, this recipe yields a smaller batch when using sugar substitutes like Splenda and sugar-free jello, but easily doubles (use 7 cups of sugar when doubling). Get ready to impress your friends and family with this unforgettable, tangy treat!

How to Make Blueberry Rhubarb Bluebarb Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb and 1 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender (10-15 minutes).
  3. Add 4 cups sugar (or 7 cups if doubling the recipe), stirring constantly until dissolved. Bring the mixture back to a rolling boil.
  4. Stir in 4 cups blueberries and 1 (3 ounce) package blueberry pie filling. Continue to boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (3 ounce) package sugar-free blueberry jello (optional).
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on top, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
