Rhubarb-Plum Jam image

Rhubarb and plums combine to make a delicious jam that's great as a jam or a topping on ice cream! With an overabundance of plums I decided to tweak my rhubarb jam recipe on this site and the results were well received by my picky jam eaters. Enjoy!

Time 13h20m

Yield 96

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ pounds chopped rhubarb
2 ½ pounds Italian prune plums
3 cups white sugar, or more to taste
⅔ cup orange juice
⅓ cup water
2 teaspoons grated orange zest, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, plums, sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, inspect 6 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil.
  • Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  • Lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

I was a bit hesitant to try this jam because I'm not a big fan of rhubarb. But I'm so glad I did! The rhubarb and plums complement each other perfectly, and the jam is not too tart or too sweet.
