Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Recipe


  • Author: Michonne Zendaya
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: ~2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

  • 2 cups diced fresh rhubarb

  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice


Instructions

  • Prep the Fruit
    Rinse strawberries and rhubarb. Hull and chop strawberries; dice rhubarb into small pieces.

  • Combine Ingredients
    Add strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine.

  • Cook the Jam
    Place over medium heat. Stir frequently as the fruit breaks down and releases juices. Bring to a gentle boil.

  • Mash or Blend (Optional)
    For chunky jam, use a potato masher. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender.

  • Simmer to Thicken
    Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, for 25–30 minutes or until thickened. Use the chilled plate test to check readiness.

 

  • Jar the Jam
    Pour the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars. Let cool, then seal and refrigerate.

  • Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

  • Freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
