This sweet flavorful jam combines two of the earliest garden yields, strawberries and rhubarb. Adding rhubarb to this jam enhances the flavor and texture.

There are different kinds of rhubarb but my favorite is the deep Crimson Red Rhubarb. It has a sweeter taste, ruby red stalks, and I love it.

This jam brings back so many memories of grandma’s garden and the rows of Rhubarb or pie plants growing along its edge.

Strawberry plants have always had a special place in my garden. My children also picked berries for a produce farmers for years. These berries pictured below was the first time I picked such huge ones at a you-pick patch. These are called Valley Sunset, have a good flavor and are huge as you can see by the quart boxes they are in.

When you use unflavored gelatin it needs to bloom in cold water before it is added to hot liquid. Here is is ready to add to the hot jam.

Doesn’t this jam look great! I do not like large chunks of berries in my jam so I blend them smooth. Here the jam is ready to be ladled into jars.

Here is the jam in a kettle getting water-bathed. I use a large stainless kettle to can jam. There is an inch of water covering the jars.

Here the jars are setting on a rack cooling. Doesn’t this jam look wonderful!
