Tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries shine together in this easy strawberry-rhubarb jam. There's no canning involved and with fresh in-season strawberries, added sugar stays in check.

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (6 cups)
3 cups chopped rhubarb, fresh or frozen (thawed)
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar and salt in a heavy 6-quart pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring often, until the mixture registers 220 degrees F on a candy thermometer and becomes thick and slightly darker, about 1 1/2 hours. (Alternatively, to test for proper thickness, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate; place in freezer for 2 minutes then run a finger over the jam. If it wrinkles and feels gel-like, the jam is ready. If the jam is not yet ready, continue cooking for 5 minutes, then test again.) Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice.
Spoon the jam into 2 sterilized (1-pint) jars; let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Equipment: Candy thermometer; two 1-pint jars

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
