Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
Recipe
This
strawberry rhubarb jam recipe is made with
equal parts Strawberry and Rhubarb.

This makes about 6 half pints. It
is VERY tempting to double jam recipes and make
more. However it is
difficult
to make double batches of jam.
If you want to make more at a
time
(I don't blame you) simply have two batches going at the same time in
different pots.
Prepare
Gather
your canning supplies
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb - diced
- 2 cups crushed strawberries
- 5 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 package powdered pectin
Start by
washing jars, and get water in your canner
heating.
(see Water
Bath Canning
for full directions)
Procedure
Wash and dice your rhubarb. 
Combine rhubarb, strawberries, pectin and lemon juice in a large pot.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
I like to use a potato masher to help mash up the fruit.
Add sugar and bring back to a boil again stirring constantly.
Boil hard for 1 minute.
Skim
foam if necessary. 
Fill hot jars with hot jam leaving 1/4 inch head
space.
Pack and process according to water
bath canning instructions.
