Strawberries in Strawberry and rhubarb jam

Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam

This is so simple that I feel a little foolish calling it a recipe - but those who need guidance might appreciate it. The rhubarb and lemon help to cut through the sweetness of the berries.

Ingredients
  

  • 300 gms hulled and sliced strawberries
  • 300 gms sliced rhubarb
  • 300 gms white sugar I use jam-setting sugar
  • Juice and zest of one lemon

Instructions
 

  • Place a saucer in the freezer.
  • Combine all ingredients in a heavy based saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Bring to the boil slowly, stirring constantly, until the sugar is all dissolved.
  • Cook stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • After about 15-20 minutes start testing to see if it's set. Place a teaspoon of jam on the cold saucer. Set aside for a few minutes, then gently push it with your finger - if the surface wrinkles, the jam is set. If not, keep cooking for another 5-10 minutes before testing again.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully pour jam into hot, sterilised jars and seal. Cool completely before storing.
