Rhubarb Raspberry Jam Lower Sugar Recipes

LOW-SUGAR RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Place raspberries in a small pot and mash with a potato masher. Add syrup and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and stevia. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, stirring constantly, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

RASPBERRY JAM WITHOUT PECTIN

Steps:

• Bring raspberries to a boil in a very large pot. Cook for 4 minutes. Add sugar and lemon juice; stir well. Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for another 4 minutes.
• Remove pot from heat and pour jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch of space at the top. Seal and transfer jars into a boiling water bath. Make sure jars are covered with at least 1 inch of water; let sit for 5 minutes. Lift jars and let them cool in a draft-free place without touching, 8 hours to overnight.

HOMEMADE RASPBERRY RHUBARB FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Place raspberries, rhubarb, sugar, and minute tapioca in a medium to large-size pot. (Feel free to add the sugar in steps. Taste it as you go so you don't make it too sweet. Adjust to your own personal taste).
• Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 to 2 minutes. I use a potato masher to smush up the rhubarb and berries as it cooks. Stir often to prevent burning.
• Reduce the heat to medium to medium-low and continue to simmer at a very low boil for 10-15 minutes, make sure to stir. Continue to simmer until the jam is thickened.
• Carefully spoon the hot raspberry rhubarb jam into clean, sanitized glass jars. Leave about 1-inch of headspace. This recipe will fill 3 pint jars. Let the jam cool completely, about 2-3 hours. Then place on a tight-fitting lid. I store all of my jars in the fridge until they are cold, and then leave 1 jar in the fridge and move the other 2 jars into the freezer.
• Enjoy!

RHUBARB-RASPBERRY JAM

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.)

RHUBARB RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Let sit until sugar begins to dissolve, about 5 minutes. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add raspberry-flavored gelatin; stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove jam from heat.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and place jars 2 inches apart into the water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until completely cool, about 2 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

SURE.JELL RASPBERRY-RHUBARB JAM

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.)
