How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

  1. Combine 4 cups crushed strawberries, 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 pouch (1 3/4 oz) liquid pectin in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in 7 cups granulated sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely. Continue stirring.
  4. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat immediately.
  6. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Adjust two-piece lids and rings.
  9. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult your canning guide for specifics).
  10. Remove jars and let them cool completely. Listen for the satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
