Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 cups Rhubarb
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces. Wash and dice the rhubarb into 1/2-inch slices.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to avoid sticking.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down and the marmalade thickens. Use the back of a spoon to mash larger fruit chunks if desired.
To check for the marmalade's readiness, drop a small spoonful onto a chilled plate. If it thickens without running, it's ready. If not, continue simmering for a few more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the marmalade cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Once cooled, seal the jars, refrigerate, and enjoy within 2-3 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
