Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 3 cups (400g) fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups (400g) cane sugar
  • 1 box (57g) low-sugar fruit pectin (powdered)

Instructions:

  1. Combine the quartered strawberries, chopped rhubarb, and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed stockpot.
  2. Stir the mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the rhubarb begins to soften and the strawberries release their natural juices.
  3. Whisk the low-sugar pectin into the fruit mixture until fully dissolved.
  4. Gradually stir in the cane sugar.
  5. Increase the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly to prevent burning, and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down). Continue boiling for exactly 1 minute.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam from the surface for a clearer jam.
  7. Using a funnel, ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.
  8. Process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes or let cool for freezer jam.
