Easiest Rhubarb Jam Recipe
Description
The jam-making process begins with heating chopped rhubarb and lemon juice to soften the fruit and release natural flavors. After boiling briefly, natural pectin is added to help the jam set properly. Sugar is incorporated later and simmered until the mixture reaches a jelly-like consistency, confirmed by a cold saucer test.
Prepared jam is poured hot into sterilized jars, immediately sealed to ensure preservation. This method results in a straightforward, effective approach to rhubarb jam that captures the fruit’s tartness and sweetness.
This jam can be stored in the refrigerator or processed for long-term storage. Proper jar sterilization and sealing are important for safety and freshness.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs rhubarb chopped
- 4 lbs sugar
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1.75 oz pectin natural
Instructions
- Put a saucer in the freezer.
- Heat rhubarb and lemon juice over medium heat.
- Increase the heat and boil for 10 minutes. Add pectin and boil for another 10 minutes.
- Now add the sugar and boil for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until a little jam congeals on the saucer (from the freezer).
- Boil some water to rinse the jars and lids just before filling them. Pour hot jam into the jars and close immediately.
- You can let the jars cool and keep in the fridge or process them so that they're safely sealed.
