Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) Rhubarb
- 1 can (20 ounces, undrained) Crushed pineapple
- 4 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash and chop the rhubarb into small, even pieces. Ensure the pineapple is undrained but well mixed if separation has occurred in the can.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped rhubarb, undrained crushed pineapple, sugar, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has fully dissolved and everything is well combined, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Continue cooking for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches the desired jammy consistency.
Step 6
To test the doneness, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate and let it sit for a minute. If it holds its shape and wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it's ready.
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam rest for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to distribute the fruit evenly.
Step 8
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Seal the jars with clean lids and rings.
Step 9
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if planning to store long-term, or simply let them cool and refrigerate for immediate use.
Step 10
Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks.
