Strawberry rhubarb jam is a classic combination of sweet and tart flavors that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or even ice cream. However, traditional jam recipes often use pectin, a natural thickener that can be difficult to find and expensive to purchase. If you're looking for a pectin-free strawberry rhubarb jam recipe, there are a few things you need to know. First, you'll need to use a different thickener, such as cornstarch or tapioca flour. Second, you'll need to cook the jam for a longer period of time in order to achieve the desired consistency. Finally, you'll need to be patient, as pectin-free jams can take some time to set. But with a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious and pectin-free strawberry rhubarb jam that the whole family will enjoy.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

9 cups rhubarb (sliced into 1/2 inch segments)
6 cups strawberries (hulled and halved)
4 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces. Trim the strawberries and cut them into halves.
  • Set a large 7-8 quart saucepot over medium heat. Add the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a very low boil and cook for one hour. Make sure to stir the jam every 5 to 10 minutes so that it doesn't burn on the bottom.
  • Once the jam has cooked for at least an hour, place a cooking thermometer in the pot. Wait for the jam to reach 203 to 205°F. The jam may need up to another 30 minutes to reach this temperature, or it may already be there!
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Use a ladle to carefully move the hot jam to four clean pint jars.
  • If planning to freeze, make sure to leave 1 inch at the top of the jar unfilled, for expansion. If planning to can, follow proper canning protocol at this point.

Time P1DT45m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ½ cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cups white sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
4 ½ cups fresh strawberries, halved
20 4-ounce canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Mix rhubarb and sugar in a large heavy pot and let stand for 2 hours; stir in lemon juice and strawberries. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Set heat to medium-high and cook jam at a full rolling boil until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching, 20 to 25 minutes. A candy thermometer inserted into the middle of the jam, not touching the pot, should read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).
  • Remove jam from heat and stir for 2 to 3 more minutes; skim off any foam.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Let jars stand on wire racks for 24 hours to cool and seal. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

I found a recipe for this jam that I made a few changes to, and this is my final recipe with my changes. It's a hit with all of my friends and family, and I hope that it will be for you as well. I used fresh ripe and home-grown strawberries and rhubarb to make my jam with.

Time 2h40m

Yield 192

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ¼ cups diced rhubarb
4 ¼ cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 (1.75 ounce) packages powdered fruit pectin
½ teaspoon butter
10 cups white sugar
12 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place rhubarb, strawberries, lemon juice, fruit pectin, and butter into a large kettle over medium heat. (Butter is optional but helps keep jam from getting too foamy). Stir the fruit mixture to help the juice start to form, and add sugar, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and the juice is starting to simmer. Turn up heat to medium-high, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, and cook and stir for 1 minute. Skim off any foam that forms.n
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. With a jelly funnel and a soup ladle, pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.n
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.n
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. To help the jam set, don't move or touch the jars until cooled. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.n

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

A delicious, sweet jam. You could make this tart by only adding 5 cups sugar, instead of the 7. *If you do use less sugar, you will have less final product.
