I made 50 servings / 3 pint jars since it was my first time canning. I added 2 dashes of cinnamon and a dash of cloves and reduced the sugar by 25% (because we like a little tartness & spice) This was SO easy & SO delicious! going to make a second full batch soon!
I tried out this reciepe for the first time and so far so good!! I did though cut the sugar by about 25% as well because I like the tarty taste of the Ruhbarb. I would use this again. Can't wait to try it out on some pancakes or buttermilk buns.
Lots of yummy jam with little effort! I was always told you shouldn't double a jam recipe which is what this recipe seemed to be. I was glad to learn that 12 wonderful jars of jam can come from such little effort! I used 6 pints of farm-fresh berries which I crushed then added the diced rhubarb lemon juice and about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. I used low-sugar pectin and only used 8 cups of sugar because I like tartness but even cutting the sugar left if very nicely sweet & tart. I would have rated it five stars but I tweaked the recipe and am very happy with the results!
This was a great recipe for strawberry jam. The rhubarb was completely lost you couldn't taste it at all. I was very dissapointed. And yes I used fresh not frozen rhubarb.
This is a keeper. The jam set quickly - no anxiety about whether it would be too runny. I made a batch of rhubarb buttermilk muffins and put some of this jam on it - a match made in heaven!
I gave this 4 stars because I love strawberry rhubarb jam...but this was way too sweet. Like gag me with a spoon to sweet. So if you like your jam so sweet that it gags you this is excellent but when I make this again I will definitely use the low sugar pectin and maybe 7-8 cups of sugar instead of the 10 that this recipe call for.:)
I am not a huge fan of rhubarb, but it is so abundant that I get gifts of it from my friends. This is quite good, sweet yet it has a little tartness too. Good on the buttermilk biscuits and pancakes I put it on. I would make again.
This stuff is to die for! Perfect. Yes strawberry freezer jam is nice and easy BUT... THIS stuff is so much more flavorful. I will never go back to my lazy ways.... now I just have to plant lots of rhubarb!
i made this preserve today, and i only used 5 cups of sugar, but 6 c of rhubarb and 4 c of strawberries and lemon zest. it tastes wonderful! thank you for the inspiration.
