Ingredients

  • 4 cups rhubarb diced
  • 2 cups strawberries mashed
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1 box sure jell pectin pink box

Instructions

  • Wash jars - then sterlize them in a hot water bath.
  • Begin by washing the fruit. Clean the rhubarb, dice into small pieces - measure exactly four cups.
  • Clean the strawberries, remove the stems and mash the berries with a potato masher - measure exactly 2 cups.
  • Add the rhubarb and strawberries to a large heavy stockpot. Add the lemon juice.
  • Measure ¼ cup of sugar and mix it with the contents of the Sure-Jell. Sprinkle it into the fruit, mix well again and set it on the stove on high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  • When it comes to a full boil (a boil you can't stir down) add the remaining sugar. Continue stirring the entire time while the jam cooks. Return it to a boil. Boil for exactly one minute, stirring vigorously. (Set a timer to make sure you get it for a full minute).
  • Remove from the stove and immediately ladle hot jam into sterilized hot jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace at the top of the jar.
  • Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the tops of the jars to remove any fruit mixture that may have gotten on the top of the lids. (This will keep the jars from sealing.)
  • Tap the filled jars on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  • Place lids on jars, followed by the rings, screw it on tightly.
  • Process in a water bath canner (boiling water) for 10 minutes to seal the jars.Makes 6 eight oz. jars.
