Blueberry Rhubarb Bluebarb Jam Recipes

BLUEBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Prepare a small water bath canning pot and four half pint jars.
• Pour the blueberries into a non-reactive pot (I used a five quart Dutch oven for this batch and it worked nicely). Using a potato masher, work the blueberries until they're mostly crushed. Add the rhubarb. Whisk the pectin into the sugar and add that to the pot as well.
• Place the pan on the stove over high heat and bring the fruit to a boil. Cook, stirring regularly for 18 to 22 minutes, until the fruit starts to thicken into jam.
• Once the jam has thickened satisfyingly and has reduced by at least one-third, it is done.
• Funnel the jam into the prepared jars. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
• When the time is up, remove the jars and set them on a folded kitchen towel to cool. When the jars have cooled enough that you can comfortably handle them, check the seals. Sealed jars can be stored at room temperature for up to a year. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used promptly.

BLUEBERRY-RHUBARB REFRIGERATOR JAM

Steps:

• In a large kettle, cook rhubarb and water over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Add sugar. Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Stir in pie filling, blueberries and lemon juice. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Cool slightly. Pour into refrigerator containers. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate.

FRESH BLUEBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Place the sugar and cassis in a large (8-by-4-inch) heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the rhubarb, blueberries, apple, and lemon zest and toss well to coat the fruit with the cassis and sugar. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until there is a lot of liquid and it comes to a full boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered at a low boil for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has disintegrated and the mixture has thickened. (I test a little by putting some jam in a dish in the freezer to check the consistency when it cools.) If necessary, cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate.

BLUEBARB PIE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half so that 1 portion is slightly larger than the other. Wrap; refrigerate for 4 hours or until easy to handle., On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion of dough to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate or cast-iron skillet. Transfer crust to pie plate. Trim crust even with rim of plate. , For filling, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, tapioca and salt. Add rhubarb and blueberries; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer to crust. Dot with butter., Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in crust. If desired, make additional dough and use to create cutouts to decorate top of pie. Brush with milk; sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. , Bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edge with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack.
