Rhubarb Raspberry Jam Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb and sugar; cover and refrigerate overnight., Place saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Meanwhile, rinse six 1-cup plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly., Stir in gelatin and pie filling into rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cool., Fill all containers to within 1/2 in. of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year. Thaw frozen jam in refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• Bring rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt to a boil in a heavy pot, stirring often. Cook, continuing to stir often, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a wooden or metal spoon when lifted from mixture, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely, about 2 hours. Refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month, or freeze up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb pieces, sugar and fresh lemon juice in heavy large Dutch oven. Cover and refrigerate until juices form, stirring occasionally, at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil until rhubarb mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add raspberries and boil until mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes longer. Remove jam from heat. Stir in ground cardamom. Cool jam completely. (Jam can be made 1 week ahead. Store in covered container in refrigerator.)

Steps:

• For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss carefully with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button just until the dough comes together. Turn onto a well-floured board, cut in half, and form into two disks. Wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. (Wrap the second dough well and freeze, if not using.)
• For the filling, place 3 tablespoons of water in small bowl, whisk in the cornstarch, and set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rhubarb, raspberries, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until some of the juices are released. Stir in the cornstarch, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Roll the pastry to an 11- to 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared pan. Pile the raspberry rhubarb mixture onto the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Fold the border up over the filling, pleating, if necessary, and pressing lightly. Brush the pastry with egg wash, sprinkle the pastry with turbinado sugar, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the filling is thickened. Cool for 30 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thick. It will thicken more as it cools.
• Ladle into hot sterile jars, and seal with lids and rings. Store opened jars in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Crush raspberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Finely chop unpeeled rhubarb. Combine fruits; measure exactly 5 cups prepared fruit mixture into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir pectin into prepared fruit mixture in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

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, and 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:

• Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Mix rhubarb, sugar and water in large saucepan. Cook on high heat 2 min. or until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover; cook an additional 12 to 15 min. or until mixture is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
• Add gelatin; stir until dissolved. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Turn jars upside-down. After 5 min., turn upright. Or, follow water bath method recommended by USDA. Cool. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Slice the strawberries and rhubarb if using fresh fruit. Set aside.
• Mash and cook raspberries till they're soft and juicy. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth. Twist into a ball and SQUEEZE to get all the juice. Scrape the outside to get all the pulp. You don't need clear juice since this is jam. Skip this step if you don't mind the seeds.
• Put the strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries or strained juice and sugar in at least a 5 qt pan. Add water if needed to prevent scorching.
• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook to 220F on a candy/jelly thermometer or test for jelly by putting a couple of tablespoons on a saucer and letting it cool. Stir frequently.
• Ladle into hot canning jars. Cover with hot lids and bands.
• Process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
• Remove and allow to cool. Listen for the "pops".
