Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam Recipe

Makes approximately 3 cups of jam

• 3 cups of strawberries – cut into small chunks
• 3 cups of rhubarb – cut into small chunks
• 1 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 Tbsp of lemon juice

1. Cut the strawberries and rhubarb into 1″ chunks and place in bowl.
2. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir to combine. Let it sit for 1 hr for the sugar and juices to soak in
3. In a large frying pan add the mixture and heat to medium.
4. Stir the mixture constantly for 30 mins. The mixture will start to thicken and the fruit will start to dissolve into smaller chunks.
5. Once the mixture has reached your desired thickness remove from heat and let cool.
6. Pour into jars and add the jam jar covers!
