Instructions:

Before you start making your jam, be sure to sterilize your jars and lids. You can do this by boiling them in a pot of water for 10 minutes, or by running them through the dishwasher on the hottest setting.

  1. In a large pot, combine the chopped strawberries, chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stirring constantly, let the mixture boil for 1 minute.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the liquid pectin. Stir well to combine.
  4. Skim off any foam that rises to the top of the mixture.
  5. Ladle the hot jam into your sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth, then place the lids and bands on the jars.
  7. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely before storing.
