madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam.
4 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cups white sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
Mix rhubarb and sugar in a large heavy pot and let stand for 2 hours; stir in lemon juice and strawberries. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Set heat to medium-high and cook jam at a full rolling boil until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching, 20 to 25 minutes. A candy thermometer inserted into the middle of the jam, not touching the pot, should read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).
Remove jam from heat and stir for 2 to 3 more minutes; skim off any foam. Pot up and seal.
What worked: It was good. I cut down the sugar and added extra lemon, because I didn't buy enough rhubarb. Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb. Arugula.
What didn't: Not enough rhubarb. Rhubarb.
Will I make it again? I might. It's a nice change from plain strawberry.
