How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

This strawberry rhubarb jam recipe is easy to make, as it doesn’t require traditional canning:

Prepare the rhubarb: Rhubarb leaves should never be eaten – cut them off and discard!
Wash the rhubarb and strip off any tough, stringy ribs using a paring knife (forced rhubarb should not need peeling). Trim the top and bottom of each stem. Thinly slice the prepared rhubarb.
Roughly chop the strawberries
Place all chopped fruit into a large heavy based saucepan
Pour the sugar over the fruit and stir
Cook gently for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve and the fruit to break down
Turn up the heat and let bubble for another 10-15 minutes until the temperature reaches at least 221°F on a food thermometer. This is the jam setting point.
Take off the heat and let cool
Ladle into sealable jars and store in the fridge
