Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves are a sweet and tangy homemade jam made with fresh strawberries and rhubarb. Perfect for spreading on toast, spooning over desserts, or gifting in jars.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 3 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
  • 5 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, strawberries, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  2. Stir in pectin and bring mixture back to a rolling boil.
  3. Add sugar all at once, stirring constantly until fully dissolved. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe rims, seal with lids and bands, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (optional for canning).
  7. Let cool completely before storing. Refrigerate after opening.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries and tender rhubarb for best flavor.
  • Can be frozen instead of canned — just use freezer-safe containers.
  • Let jars sit undisturbed for 24 hours to fully set.
