Blueberry-Rhubarb Jam
Ingredients
8 cup blueberries
4 cup rhubarb, chopped in 1 inch pieces
1 tsp lemon rind, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup water
4 cup granulated sugar
Preparation
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 - 220F or 103 - 104C), 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat, skim off foam and stir for 3 - 5 minutes to suspend
fruit evenly throughout jam. Fill sterilized jars and seal. Makes
about 4 pint jars or 8 - half pint jars. Source: Canadian Living
