the end of the rhubarb season. time for freezing and canning. two batches of jam so far- strawberry rhubarb and rhubarb ginger.
strawberry rhubarb jam
2 cups of smashed strawberries
2 cups of chopped rhubarb
1 cup of apple juice
6 cups of sugar
1 packet of pectin
so i found this recipe to be disturbing. six cups of sugar?! my teeth were hurting just thinking about it. but my mother promises that this is a standard ratio.
rhubarb ginger
4 cups of chopped rhubarb
1 cup of sugar
zest from 1 lemon
4 tbs of candied ginger, chopped
this recipe was more my style. tart and tangy.
i will do some research on ratios. and pectin. jam making in general. and get back to you.
