Simple Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
This simple strawberry rhubarb jam recipe takes only 3 ingredients! It's easy to make, and beats every other jam I've tried. I mean, it has rhubarb in it. What's not to love?
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh, finely chopped rhubarb
- 3 cups white granulated sugar
- 1 3 oz. box strawberry Jello mix
Instructions
- Harvest rhubarb, and chop it up in small pieces. A good rule of thumb is to split a half inch wide rhubarb stalk in half down the middle, then again (so there are four long pieces) and then chop them all into roughly 1/4 inch size pieces.
- Place chopped rhubarb in a bowl and cover with sugar. Do not stir.
- Cover bowl and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next day, prep 5 half-pint sized jars, lids, and rims by boiling them in hot water.
- Stir the rhubarb and sugar together and dump into a medium pot.
- Cook on medium heat until boiling, stirring often. Once mixture begins boiling, set timer for 10 minutes and stir constantly.
- Once timer goes off, add packet of strawberry jello and stir until dissolved. Turn off heat.
- Drain jam into prepared jars. Seal off and cool for a half hour, then refrigerate until using.
