FRESH BLUEBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Categories     condiment

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cassis liqueur, such as Mathilde
5 cups (1-inch-diced) fresh rhubarb (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and small-diced
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Place the sugar and cassis in a large (8-by-4-inch) heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the rhubarb, blueberries, apple, and lemon zest and toss well to coat the fruit with the cassis and sugar. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until there is a lot of liquid and it comes to a full boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered at a low boil for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has disintegrated and the mixture has thickened. (I test a little by putting some jam in a dish in the freezer to check the consistency when it cools.) If necessary, cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate.

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups diced fresh rhubarb
1-1/2 cups frozen blueberries (one 12 oz. pkg.)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 (3 oz.) box raspberry flavored gelatin
(1.5 oz.) lemon flavored gelatin (1/2 of one 3 oz. box)

Steps:

  • 1. In a stock-pot, combine the rhubarb, frozen blueberries, and sugar.
  • 2. Cook over medium-heat; stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
  • 3. Once the sugar dissolves, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes; stirring every few minutes.
  • 4. Now add the 3 ounces of raspberry gelatin, and only half of the boxed lemon flavored gelatin, and stir well.
  • 5. Ladle the jam into sterilized glass jars; only filling within a 1/2-inch to a 3/4-inch to the rim of each jar.
  • 6. Cover the jars with the lids, and seal each jar tightly. (Just be careful when sealing each jar, as the jam in the jars is 'hot'.)
  • 7. Place the jars on a dish towel on your kitchen counter, and allow the jam to cool to room temperature, before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer. (This does keep well stored in the freezer.)

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ripe and unripe rhubarb for the best flavor. The unripe rhubarb will provide a tartness that balances out the sweetness of the blueberries.
  • Chop the rhubarb into small pieces so that it cooks evenly. You can also use a food processor to chop the rhubarb, but be careful not to over-process it.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you are using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Add the sugar gradually and stir constantly to prevent the jam from scorching. You can also use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sterilize your jars and lids before filling them with jam. This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.
  • Process the jars of jam in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This will help to seal the jars and ensure that the jam is shelf-stable.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb blueberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It is also a great way to use up extra rhubarb and blueberries. With its sweet and tart flavor, rhubarb blueberry jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
