Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 package fruit pectin (like Certo or Sure-Jell)

Instructions to Follow:

  1. First things first, wash those fresh strawberries and rhubarb thoroughly. Make sure to hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and slice them up. For the rhubarb, chop it into small pieces so it cooks down nicely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Mix it all together and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to let those flavors soak in.
  3. While that’s resting, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the fruit pectin. Stir it well and let it boil for about one minute, just until everything is dissolved.
  4. Now, pour that pectin mixture back into your berry and rhubarb bowl. Stir it all up until it’s well blended. You should start to see the mixture thicken a bit.
  5. Next, grab some clean jars (make sure they can handle freezing!) and ladle your jam mixture into them, leaving about half an inch of space at the top for expansion. Seal those jars tight.
  6. Let them sit at room temperature for about 24 hours. After that, pop them into the freezer to preserve all that fruity goodness!

And there you have it! An easy peasy strawberry rhubarb freezer jam that’s perfect for any time of year. Whether you’re spreading it on your morning toast, adding it to your favorite desserts, or just spooning it straight outta the jar, this jam is bound to be a hit. Enjoy!
