Easiest Rhubarb Jam Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs rhubarb (chopped)
  • 4 lbs sugar
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.75 oz natural pectin

Steps

  1. 1

    Put a saucer in the freezer.

  2. 2

    Heat rhubarb and lemon juice over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Increase the heat and boil for 10 minutes. Add pectin and boil for another 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Now add the sugar and boil for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until a little jam congeals on the saucer (from the freezer).

  5. 5

    Boil some water to rinse the jars and lids just before filling them. Pour hot jam into the jars and close immediately.

  6. 6

    You can let the jars cool and keep in the fridge or process them so that they're safely sealed.
