Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) Fresh rhubarb
- 2 cups (fresh or frozen) Blackberries
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks, then chop them into small 1/2-inch pieces.
If using fresh blackberries, rinse them gently and remove any stems or debris. If using frozen blackberries, let them thaw slightly beforehand.
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the chopped rhubarb, blackberries, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to break down and the fruit softens, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir well to dissolve it completely. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Cook the mixture for another 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. The jam should thicken and reach the desired consistency. To test, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate; if it holds its shape when cooled, it’s ready.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if storing long-term.
Let the jars cool completely at room temperature. Store in a cool, dark place, or refrigerate if consuming within a few weeks.
