Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 cups rhubarb stalks, chopped
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and chopping strawberries and rhubarb into small pieces.
- In a large pot over medium heat, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir frequently for about 10 minutes until the mixture begins to break down.
- Increase heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally for another 15-20 minutes until thickened.
- To test consistency, drop a spoonful onto a cold plate; if it holds shape without running back together too quickly, it?s ready.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly with lids, and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating.
