Method
Preparation
- Put the chopped rhubarb and chopped strawberries into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add the sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Stir to combine, then let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, stir in the fruit pectin until it's fully dissolved.
Cooking
- Set the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling, vigorous boil, stirring constantly.
- Once at a rolling boil, reduce heat just enough to maintain that boil and continue for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens.
- To test, chill a small plate in the freezer. Spoon a little jam on the cold plate; if it wrinkles when nudged, it’s ready.
- Remove from heat and ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe rims clean, apply lids, and screw on bands fingertip-tight. Let jars cool completely on a rack.

Notes
Refrigerate opened jam and use within about 3 weeks. Unopened jars can sit in a cool, dark pantry for up to one year.
