Categories     Home

Time 3h5m

Yield about 8 (1-cup) jars or 128 servings, 1 Tbsp. each

Number Of Ingredients 5

4-1/2 cups prepared fruit (about 2-1/2 lb. fully ripe rhubarb)
1 cup water
1 pkg. SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine
6-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

Steps:

  • Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
  • Chop unpeeled rhubarb finely. Place rhubarb and water in 4-qt. saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 2 min. or until rhubarb is tender. Measure exactly 4-1/2 cups prepared rhubarb into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
  • Stir pectin into prepared rhubarb in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
  • Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe rhubarb: Look for stalks that are firm and deep red in color.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks well and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Remove any leaves or blemishes.
  • Use a large pot: This will help to prevent the jam from boiling over.
  • Bring the jam to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer: This will help to thicken the jam and prevent it from burning.
  • Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Test the jam for doneness: Dip a spoon into the jam and let it cool for a minute. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger across the back of the spoon, it is done.
  • Can the jam properly: Follow the instructions in the recipe to ensure that the jam is properly sealed and can be stored safely.
