Razzy Rhubarb Blueberry Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Place the sugar and cassis in a large (8-by-4-inch) heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the rhubarb, blueberries, apple, and lemon zest and toss well to coat the fruit with the cassis and sugar. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until there is a lot of liquid and it comes to a full boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered at a low boil for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has disintegrated and the mixture has thickened. (I test a little by putting some jam in a dish in the freezer to check the consistency when it cools.) If necessary, cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate.

Steps:

• 1. Cook rhubarb in water until tender.
• 2. Add sugar, boil a few minutes, stirring constantly.
• 3. Stir in pie filling. Cook a few minutes longer.
• 4. Remove from heat. Add jello mix and stir until dissolved.
• 5. Pour into jars. Refrigerate or freeze. (If freezing use plastic freezer containers) Makes 5 pints. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the rhubarb and sugar; stir to coat evenly.
• Cover the bowl, and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
• The next morning, place the rhubarb mixture in a large kettle.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly; until the mixture starts to boil, then lower the heat just a bit, and cook for 12 minutes (stirring constantly).
• Remove the kettle from the heat, add the gelatin powder, and keep stirring for 1 minute.
• Add the can of pie filling, and stir thoroughly until mixed through.
• Return the kettle to the stove. Start to cook over medium heat; stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Remove the kettle from the heat, and carefully ladle the jam into the sterilized glass jars.
• Cover the jars with the lids, then cool the jam to room temperature, before storing the jam in the refrigerator or freezer.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, combine blueberries, rhubarb, lemon rind and
• juice and water. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, reduce heat and
• simmer, very gently, for 10 minutes.
• Stir in sugar; increase heat to high and boil vigorously until jam reaches setting point. (218 - 220 degrees F), 10 to 15 minutes, stirring
• frequently.
• Remove from heat, skim off foam and stir for 3 to 5 minutes to suspend
• fruit evenly throughout jam.
• Fill prepared jars leaving a 1/4" headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

Steps:

• In a large kettle, cook rhubarb and water over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Add sugar. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Stir in pie filling, blueberries and lemon juice. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Cool slightly. Pour into refrigerator containers. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Put a small plate in the freezer. Put the rhubarb into a preserving pan or your largest saucepan with the sugar and halved vanilla pods. Heat gently, stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved, then squeeze in the lemon juice and increase the heat.
• Boil for about 10 mins, skimming off the scum as you go (the fruit should be soft). Test for setting point by spooning a little onto your chilled plate. After 1-2 mins, push your finger through the jam - if the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not, keep cooking for 2-min intervals, testing in between. (Or if you have a sugar thermometer it should reach 105C)
• Once the jam is ready, let it cool for about 15 mins before ladling into warm sterilised jars and sealing. Will keep for 6 months in a cool, dark place.
