Made this last year - really easy and was a favourite. Making again this year

It is really yum and great for my toast thx

I doubled this recipe as I had a lot of strawberries. I found that it was too sweet so I added another .5kg of strawberries (1.5 × recipe) and about 1/4 cup of lime juice and it made it much more berry tasting. I stick blended the rhubarb and first kg of strawberries and left the last. 5kg mashed for fruit chunks. I also used pectin and cooked it way longer than the recipe about 1-2 hrs. This made just over 5 x 500g jars.

With an aggressive rhubarb plant in the garden, this is a delightful strawberry jam to make each summer. It's easy, delicious and brightens up the darkness of winter without fail

It's so easy and rhubarb adds a sharpness to an otherwise sweet jam. Perfect for scones.
