Vanilla Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
Ingredients
- 5 cups / 1,250 mL rhubarb (About 3 large stalks)
- 2 cups / 500 mL hulled and halved strawberries (About 1 pint)
- 1 3/4 cups / 430 mL organic sugar (If you like sweeter jam, add an additional 1/2 cup / 125 mL sugar for a total of 2 1/4 cups / 560 mL sugar)
- 1 tsp / 5 mL Watkins Pure Lemon Extract
- 1 tbsp / 15 mL Watkins Original Gourmet Baking Vanilla®
Storage Containers: Four to five 1 pint / 500 mL size freezer containers or bags. (We used sterilized Mason Jars and Lids.)
Directions
Combine all ingredients in large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. You will want the heat to be set to a point where it continues to bubble slightly when stirred. Continue to cook until strawberries and rhubarb have broken down and jam has thickened. This will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Fill freezer containers with the jam, leaving a ½-inch / 1.25-cm of space at the top. Seal tightly before storing.
