A delicious, sweet jam. You could make this tart by only adding 5 cups sugar, instead of the 7. *If you do use less sugar, you will have less final product.

  • 1 (3 ounce) box liquid fruit pectin

Directions

  1. 1
    Let jars, rims and lids stand in hot water until they are ready to be filled.
  2. 2
    Measure the Strawberries and Rhubarb into a 6-8qt saucepan.
  3. 3

  7. 7
    Return to a full boil and boil 1 minute.
  8. 8
    (It will increase in size.).

I followed Danny's measurements using the 5 cups of sugar, but changed the method after making my first batch. The first time I followed the instructions exactly even though it went against my years of canning expereince. It didn't set right away (once it had cooled completely), instead took a few days. For the second attempt I first mixed the sugar and fruit. Then brought this up to a full rolling boil and then added the liquid pectin and boiled for one minute then jarred. It set the way I was accustumed and I was able to use it that evening. Thank you for sharing your wondeful recipe with us. I plan on using it every year. My husband said it had the best flavor of any rhubarb jam yet!

    Lovely flavor of strawberries but I think the rhubarb flavor was lost. Nice Jam but I'm looking for more rhubarb flavor. Thank you!

    This is awesome! I made 2 batches over the weekend. The 1st batch I made with the dry pectin because it said "box" and I didn't notice the size until later. The 2nd batch was made with the liquid pectin (3 oz "box"). Both turned out wonderfully though.
