Quick Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

Strawberry season is one of our favorites!  Here's a simple recipe for a tart sweet jam that we love!

Yield: 1 pint jam 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb cut into ½-inch pieces (2 long stalks) 
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine the rhubarb, strawberries,sugar, and water in a medium-sized pot set over medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring often, until reduced by approximately half (check this by dipping a wooden spoon into the mixture and using the jam's 'stain' as a guide).
3. Stir in lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until a the mixture has thicken and a small dab sets immediately in the freezer (put a few plates in there before you start).
4. Store in an air tight container in the fridge or freezer.
