Are you looking for a delicious and easy-to-make jam recipe that will make your taste buds sing? Look no further than this recipe for strawberry rhubarb freezer jam! With the help of Sure Jell, a popular brand of pectin, you can make a batch of this jam in no time at all.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped rhubarb
- 4 cups of chopped strawberries
- 7 cups of sugar
- 1 package of Sure Jell
- 1 cup of water
To get started, wash and chop your rhubarb and strawberries. In a large pot, mix your fruit with the sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes. During this time, the sugar will begin to draw out the juices from the fruit.
While your fruit is sitting, mix the Sure Jell with 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Once your fruit has sat for 10 minutes, turn the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the Sure Jell mixture.
Let the jam sit for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the Sure Jell to set. Then, ladle the jam into clean jars or containers, leaving a little bit of space at the top for expansion. Let the jam cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate or freeze.
