How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

  1. Wash and chop 4 cups of rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Wash and hull 4 cups of strawberries; slice larger berries in half.
  3. Combine rhubarb and strawberries in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  4. Add 4 cups of sugar, 5-6 teaspoons of liquid pectin, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the pot.
  5. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  6. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the surface.
  8. Ladle hot jam into sterilized 8oz jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  9. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  10. Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
  11. Once completely cool, check seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it's sealed!
