Rhubarb-Raspberry Jam image

Tart rhubarb and sweet raspberries are the seasonal jam pairing you never knew you needed. Make a batch while the produce is ripe and store it in your fridge (or freezer) for later use as a spread on toast, as a side to cheese plates, and in desserts like the rolled pavlova pictured here.

1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/2 cups)

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)

My favorite jam. I pick and freeze rhubarb in the spring and then wait for raspberry season in July. It's so yummy, I make two batches of this every summer.

Time 2h50m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups frozen chopped rhubarb
4 ½ cups white sugar
3 cups fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Let sit until sugar begins to dissolve, about 5 minutes. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add raspberry-flavored gelatin; stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove jam from heat.
  • Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any 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 and place jars 2 inches apart into the water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling 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 completely cool, about 2 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

RHUBARB, STRAWBERRY, RASPBERRY JAM



Rhubarb, Strawberry, Raspberry Jam image

I got the recipe from the Ball Blue Book many, many years ago. It's a truly incredible jam. The strawberries can't be left whole because that's where the pectin is. The skins have to be broken.

Provided by Countrywife

Categories     Jellies

Time 3h30m

Yield 16 pints

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups strawberries
4 cups rhubarb
2 cups raspberries
8 cups sugar
1/2 cup water (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the strawberries and rhubarb if using fresh fruit. Set aside.
  • Mash and cook raspberries till they're soft and juicy. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth. Twist into a ball and SQUEEZE to get all the juice. Scrape the outside to get all the pulp. You don't need clear juice since this is jam. Skip this step if you don't mind the seeds.
  • Put the strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries or strained juice and sugar in at least a 5 qt pan. Add water if needed to prevent scorching.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer and cook to 220F on a candy/jelly thermometer or test for jelly by putting a couple of tablespoons on a saucer and letting it cool. Stir frequently.
  • Ladle into hot canning jars. Cover with hot lids and bands.
  • Process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
  • Remove and allow to cool. Listen for the "pops".

CHERRY, RHUBARB, RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM



Cherry, Rhubarb, Raspberry Freezer Jam image

I have always wanted to make jam out of my rhubarb, but did not want it to sweet or to sour..and I love cherries so I went to the cupboard and revamped a recipe that I had. This may be a little on the sweet side but not enough to mask the flavor of the rhubarb and having the cherry mingled in there was the part that put it over...

RHUBARB RASPBERRY JAM



Rhubarb Raspberry Jam image

No pectin needed for this delicious jam! I buy as much rhubarb as I can when it is in season, vacuum seal and freeze it. Along with Rhubarb Cobbler and Strawberry Rhubarb pie, this jam is a favorite!

Provided by Tess Geer

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 11h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 lb rhubarb, washed, trimmed & sliced into 1/2" pieces
3 c raspberries
1 c white grape juice
5 c sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine rhubarb, raspberries and white grape juice in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until rhubarb is tender (approximately 15 minutes.)
  • 2. Once rhubarb is tender, add sugar and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced to desired consistency, stirring occasionally. For me, this takes 45 minutes.
  • 3. Skim foam as needed. When jam is nearly done, stir in 1 tsp butter. This will help keep the foam down.
  • 4. Submerge rings and lids in a bowl of very hot water and set aside. DO NOT BOIL LIDS.
  • 5. Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/2-1" headspace. Run a small spatula around the inside of each jar to remove air bubbles. Carefully and thoroughly wipe the rims of the jar clean. Place the lids and then rings, tightening until fingertip tight.
  • 6. Process jam in a boiling water bath for approximately five minutes. Remove jars to a clean towel away from direct sunlight. Let rest for 12-24 hours.
  • 7. Test lids for adhesion. If lid did not take, refrigerate or reprocess jam. Otherwise, store canned jam in a dark cabinet. Will keep for one year.
  • 8. Try serving the jam on top of partially melted brie cheese. Absolutely delicious!

Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh fruits: Use plump, unblemished raspberries and rhubarb stalks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the fruits properly: Rinse the raspberries and rhubarb thoroughly, then remove any stems or leaves. Cut the rhubarb into small pieces for even cooking.
  • Use a large pot: The mixture will bubble and expand during cooking, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent boil overs.
  • Cook the jam in small batches: If you're making a large batch of jam, cook it in small batches to ensure even cooking and prevent scorching.
  • Stir the jam frequently: Stir the jam constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Check the consistency of the jam: The jam is done when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. To test the consistency, place a small amount of jam on a cold plate and let it cool for a few minutes. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's ready.
  • Store the jam properly: Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal them tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal. Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Raspberry rhubarb jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, pancakes, or ice cream. It's also a great addition to pies, tarts, and other desserts. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own raspberry rhubarb jam at home. So next time you have a surplus of fresh raspberries and rhubarb, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
