Pioneer Woman Strawberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam Recipe
If you love sweet and tangy spreads, this Pioneer Woman Strawberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam Recipe is perfect. It is fresh, fruity and very easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries crushed
- 1 cup rhubarb finely chopped
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 packet fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit
- Wash strawberries and remove stems. Chop rhubarb into small pieces. Crush strawberries using a masher. Mix both fruits in a large bowl until slightly chunky but well combined.
Add Sugar
- Add sugar to the fruit mixture. Stir well until fully mixed. Let it sit for 10 minutes. This helps the sugar dissolve and release natural juices.
Cook the Pectin
- In a saucepan, mix water and pectin. Bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly to avoid lumps. Let it boil for one minute.
Combine Everything
- Pour the hot pectin mixture into the fruit mixture. Stir quickly for about 3 minutes. Make sure everything is well combined and slightly thickened.
Fill the Containers
- Pour the jam into clean jars. Leave a little space at the top. This allows the jam to expand when freezing.
Let It Set
- Leave the jars at room temperature for 24 hours. This helps the jam set properly and develop its texture.
Freeze or Store
- Place jars in the freezer for long storage. You can also keep one jar in the fridge for daily use. It stays fresh and ready to eat.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once set, your jam is ready. Spread it on toast, pancakes or desserts. Enjoy the fresh and fruity flavor anytime.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for best sweetness
- Chop rhubarb finely for smooth texture
- Do not reduce sugar, or jam may not set
- Stir pectin constantly while boiling
- Use clean jars to avoid spoilage
- Label jars with date before freezing
