Seasonal and Good Rhubarb-Strawberry Jam for Canning

2 shares

We LOVE rhubarb here.  Lydia’s been eating rhubarb since she could talk. She used to have her own secret recipe called “rhubarb delight”. Which was basically stewing it with lots of sugar in the microwave until it’s mushy and serving it on saltines. Everyone who came to our house in May was made to eat rhubarb delight by little Miss Curly Cuteness.

Now, I make a rhubarb jam which is very similar to her rhubarb delight but it lasts a little longer.  Unfortunately last spring I had to move my rhubarb in the garden and it still needs a few years to grow. I was only able to harvest about 5 cups.  Two of those went into a pie made earlier this month. The last of it I saved for jam.  I am hoping to find more locally before the season is over, but in the meantime it’s raining, I had lots of strawberries, so I improvised a little and made this jam. Not as tart as the rhubarb, but just as good.  Here’s the recipe. It’s very easy.  I hope you enjoy.

Rhubarb Strawberry Jam

  • 3 Cups Rhubarb, chopped about 1/2″ thick
  • 2 Cups Crushed Strawberries (about 5 Cups whole strawberries, cored and crushed with pastry cutter)
  • 4 Cups Sugar
  • 1 Package Fruit Pectin (I used Sure Jell powder not the liquid pectin)
  • 6 Sterilized Jelly Size Canning Jars and Lids.

Mix together rhubarb, strawberries, and sugar in large pot. Over medium heat, cook until rhubarb is soft and tender, about 15 minutes. This will be at a low boil, you’ll want to stir it a lot and skim off any foam. Taste and add up to 1/2 cup more sugar if needed, or to your taste. Stir in fruit pectin and boil one minute. Fill the sterilized jars immediately and cover with lids.  Invert jars for 5 minutes, then turn right side up and let sit 24 hours before serving.  This will make 5 – 6 jelly jars. (I also made strawberry jam in the group pictured above. On the left is this jam.) They will be good in the fridge for 3 weeks and last in the freezer for about a year.

Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today since I kind of cleaned it up yesterday and now with starting a new project it will be a mess again very soon! I don’t know about you, but I love looking inside other people’s homes and work spaces (and garden too!) They call that being “nebby” in Pittsburgh. Hope you enjoy. Have a beautiful and blessed day friends 💙

P. S. That’s Juney on the bed and Lilikoi (aka Lily) and Alfie in the birdcage. I couldn’t think of their names when I was talking haha!

You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread this week. I look forward to it every year. This is my go to recipe, which has vegan options (for my girl @lydia_tavoletti 💚). Seriously no one would guess that there are no eggs or dairy in it. It’s delightful and easy! Grab the recipe on my blog (link in bio and below)

Why I force myself to plant bulbs in the fall🌷🌷🌷
It is cooler today, but all the signs are showing that spring is on its way! #earlyspringflowers #cottagegarden #catsinthegarden
Slowly spring is coming into our living room with Slowly spring is coming into our living room with lots of plants, primroses and forced forsythia. I made a rabbit pillow for the sofa and am just delighted with how he turned out! 

On another note, this weeks shop update is being postponed for next Tuesday. It’s been a week of all the things, drs appointments, car problems, Dino’s sick… just enough blah for me not to have time to finish.  Look for lots of bunnies next week. I may even add a few of these rabbit pillows in different colors…what do you think?
