Description

A sweet and tangy strawberry rhubarb freezer jam made with fresh fruit and no canning required — perfect for spreading on toast, pancakes, or stirring into yogurt.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb (about 3-4 stalks)
  • 2 cups chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 (1.59 oz) package instant fruit pectin (e.g. Ball or Sure-Jell for freezer jam)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine rhubarb, water, and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb softens and begins to break down.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in chopped strawberries. Use a potato masher or fork to lightly mash the mixture, leaving some texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar with the pectin.
  4. Stir the pectin-sugar mixture and lemon juice into the fruit. Mix well for 3 minutes until fully dissolved and slightly thickened.
  5. Pour the jam into clean freezer-safe containers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set, then refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness to taste — you can reduce sugar slightly, but pectin may not set as firmly.
  • Use a food processor for a smoother jam texture if preferred.
  • Thaw frozen jam in the refrigerator before using.
  • Ideal for gifting in small jars during summer or holidays.
