Rhubarb Raspberry Jam Lower Sugar Recipes

RHUBARB RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Let sit until sugar begins to dissolve, about 5 minutes. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add raspberry-flavored gelatin; stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove jam from heat.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and place jars 2 inches apart into the water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until completely cool, about 2 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

RHUBARB RASPBERRY JAM, LOWER SUGAR

Steps:

• If you want to remove the raspberry seeds, read the blog post for instructions. However, I don't do it, too much trouble.
• Start by preparing your jars. I had enough jam to fill 4 large jars, if your using smaller you will probably need about 8. Wash and sterilize them, including the lids, and place them on a clean kitchen towel until ready to fill.
• Clean and chop the rhubarb into small pieces.
• Place the rhubarb in a very large pot, bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft, stirring from time to time.
• In the meantime mix 100 g/ 3.5 oz of the sugar with the pectin in a jar. Place the lid on and shake very well to ensure that everything is mixed well. (Note)
• Add the raspberries to the rhubarb pot and puree the mixture with an immersion blender. Add the sugar-pectin mixture, mix very well and bring to a boil while stirring continuously.
• When it starts to boil, set the timer and cook for 3 minutes while stirring all the time.
• Add the rest of the sugar, bring to a boil again and continue boiling for another 2 minutes while stirring all the time.
• Transfer immediately to the prepared jars.
• Can the jam if desired. Either in a canner or in a waterbath.

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY RHUBARB FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Place raspberries, rhubarb, sugar, and minute tapioca in a medium to large-size pot. (Feel free to add the sugar in steps. Taste it as you go so you don't make it too sweet. Adjust to your own personal taste).
• Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 to 2 minutes. I use a potato masher to smush up the rhubarb and berries as it cooks. Stir often to prevent burning.
• Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low and continue to simmer at a very low boil for 10-15 minutes, make sure to stir. Continue to simmer until the jam is thickened.
• Carefully spoon the hot raspberry rhubarb jam into clean, sanitized glass jars. Leave about 1-inch of headspace. This recipe will fill 3 pint jars. Let the jam cool completely, about 2-3 hours. Then place on a tight-fitting lid. I store all of my jars in the fridge until they are cold, and then leave 1 jar in the fridge and move the other 2 jars into the freezer.
• Enjoy!
