Tips:

  • Select Fresh Ingredients: Choose plump, ripe blueberries and firm, vibrant rhubarb stalks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Prepare Fruit Properly: Wash and hull the strawberries, and cut the rhubarb into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching.
  • Cook the Jam in Batches: If you're making a large batch, cook it in smaller batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't Overcook the Jam: Overcooking can result in a thick, gummy texture. Cook the jam until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
  • Test the Jam for Doneness: Drop a small spoonful of jam onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  • Cool and Store Properly: Let the jam cool completely before transferring it to clean jars. Seal the jars tightly and store them in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Preparing fresh blueberry rhubarb jam is a rewarding and delicious way to preserve the flavors of summer.
