Remove jars and place upright on a 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.)

Cook fresh strawberry and rhubarb, sugar & fruit pectin briefly for SURE.JELL Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam. Our homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam is delicious!

NOTE: I cut my rhubarb into 1 ich pieces and freeze it until I am rerady to make jam. I also run the rhubard through a blender, my boys don't like big chucks of rhubarb in thier jam.
