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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- Rinse the rhubarb and slice it into 1/2-inch pieces. You should have roughly 5 cups.
- Hull the strawberries and rinse them under cold running water. Let them dry and then slice thinly. You should have 4 to 5 cups of sliced strawberries.
- In a large, nonreactive pot , combine the prepared strawberries and rhubarb with the granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Cover the pan and let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Place seven clean, half-pint jars in a large canning kettle and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low to keep the jars hot while you prepare the fruit.
- Place the lids and rings in a saucepan; cover with water and bring to a simmer. Keep the lids in the hot water until you're ready to seal the jars.
- Add the lemon juice to the fruit and place the pan over medium-high heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Make sure the tip of the thermometer does not touch the bottom or side of the pan. Bring the fruit to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the jam reaches 220 F, stirring frequently. When the jam reaches about 216 F, begin stirring even more frequently to prevent scorching.
- Remove the jam from the heat and skim off any foam. Stir for a few minutes and then ladle the jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims and threads with dampened paper towels. Carefully place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings. Don't over-tighten the rings and keep the jars upright.
- Place the jars on the canning rack and lower them into the canning kettle. If the water is not at least 1 inch above the jars, add more hot water. Bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan; boil gently for 10 minutes. If you are working at an altitude of over 1,000 feet, see the table below.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the jars stand in the water for 10 minutes.
- With tongs, remove the jars to a rack to cool (upright) completely. If any jars did not seal, refrigerate them and use right away.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM (LIQUID CERTO)
I'm posting this so I'll have it available whenever I need it. I figure I'm not the only one to lose the directions that come in the pectin box, so I thought I'd make it public. This makes a nice sweet/tart jam with a beautiful rich pink/red color. If you use a food processor to chop your strawberries, don't puree them, just chop them. To prepare jars--wash them in hot soapy water and rinse with warm water. To prepare flat lids, bring a small amount of water to a boil and remove from the heat. Place the lids in the boiling water and let sit until you are ready to use them. I use the inversion method to seal my jars (place them upside down for 10 minutes once the lids are on instead of canning) but that method is NOT RECOMMENDED by the USDA.

Steps:
- Prepare your jars and lids for canning. This recipe makes approximately 8 cups.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries, and crush to 2 1/4 cups. You can crush with a potato masher, food processer, or my favorite way, by hand.
- Chop rhubarb (you'll need it to measure 1 3/4 cups), place in saucepan with 1/2 cup water, bring to boil and boil about 2 minutes, or until rhubarb is soft.
- In a large (6- or 8-quart) pot, combine the strawberries, drained rhubarb, sugar, and butter if using and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat.
- Add the pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for one minute and then remove from the heat.
- Skim off any foam (if you used the butter, there may not be any foam) and pour into your prepared jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims and threads, cover with two piece lids, screw bands on and boil in a canner for 10 minutes.
- Remove jars from canner and allow to sit overnight. Check the seal, if any jars did not seal, place in the fridge and use immediately. Store properly sealed jars up to one year in a cool dry place.

Steps:
- Chop rhubarb into small pieces, and core and slice strawberries.
- Sterilize jars you'll be using for canning be either boiling for 10 minutes, running through a bottle sterilizer, or cooking in the oven for 10 minutes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil the lids and rings in water for 10 minutes.
- Cook rhubarb, strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a tall pot. Mash with a potato masher as fruit softens.
- Cook on medium high heat, stirring frequently. Add the pectin when the mixture boils.
- The pectin package says to boil for one minute, but I frequently find that my jam never sets with that short of a boil. I suggest boiling for 3-5 minutes.
- Turn off heat and pour jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace..
- Clean off any spillage on the rims with a clean cloth.
- Put on lids and secure with rims. Boil in water for 10 minutes. The water must be at least 1 inch over the top of the jars.
- Remove after 10 minutes and set jars on a clean towel. Do not tilt the jar as you remove it, as that could compromise the seal. Do not move jars for 24 hours.
- If you have any jars that don't seal, or a jar with too much headspace, put it in the fridge and use that one first.
STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB JAM
Strawberries and rhubarb are a quintessential spring pairing and making jam with them is a wonderful way to preserve some of their bright flavor long after the season is over. In this recipe, we've bumped up the tart rhubarb to help balance the sweetness of the strawberries and sugar. We've also suggested ways to boost the flavor with simple mix-ins. This jam makes a delicious topping for ice cream or yogurt, or a simple and elegant way to fill a cake in place of frosting.

Steps:
- Toss the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan to combine, then mash slightly to release some of the berry juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to macerate and the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer to chill; this will be used to test the doneness of the jam.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. (See Cook's Note for flavor additions.) Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the jam becomes thick and syrupy, about 1 1/2 hours. To test doneness, place a small amount of the jam onto the chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger or spoon through the jam. If the jam holds its shape and thickness, remove from the heat. If it's runny, continue to cook and test again in 5-minute increments. Once the jam has reached the right consistency, transfer to jars and cool completely before storing, covered tightly. Jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: For the best flavor, use fresh, young rhubarb with firm stalks and minimal blemishes. Avoid rhubarb with wilted or dried leaves, as this indicates that it is past its prime.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: To prepare the rhubarb, wash it thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Use a large pot: When making strawberry rhubarb jam, it is important to use a large pot to prevent the jam from boiling over. A 6-quart or larger pot is ideal.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil: This is an important step in the jam-making process, as it helps to thicken the jam and prevent it from spoiling.
- Stir the jam frequently: Stirring the jam frequently while it is cooking helps to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Test the jam for doneness: To test the jam for doneness, place a small amount of it on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done.
- Store the jam properly: Once the jam is done, pour it into clean, sterilized jars and seal them tightly. Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
Conclusion:
Strawberry rhubarb jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, waffles, or even ice cream. It is also a great way to use up fresh strawberries and rhubarb when they are in season. With these simple tips, you can easily make your own homemade strawberry rhubarb jam that is sure to impress your family and friends.
