But don't worry because there is a lot of information on the internet about how to make this type of sensational summer jam, but you need to have the basics of this Amish recipe down before you begin. The ingredients are almost the same as for any other fruit jam, but the only difference is that there is no pectin, jell, and no gelatin used with the homemade strawberry and rhubarb recipe.
The favorite method to use rhubarb jam in the Amish community is in combination with strawberries and sugar beets. In this way, the jam is natural without jelly and pectin. I think it is fantastic. The Amish are a community that has always fascinated me... Strawberry rhubarb jam is perfect for any occasion, but it's incredibly delicious for Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. So make sure to make some this holiday season, and buy jars, and preserves them in the freezer.

The longest part of this recipe is preparing the rhubarb; I wanted to bring back memories of my childhood when I prepare plain homemade strawberry rhubarb recipes. After washing the rhubarb sticks, I peel them with a knife or peeler, no need to remove a big thickness. I reserve the peels, they can be used to make tangy rhubarb water. Then I cut the rhubarb into sections of a few centimeters and set it aside.

Can you make a rhubarb jam without strawberry?
Of course, you can make rhubarb jam on its own, but the American Amish community prefers to add strawberries to improve their flavorful savor or add other fruits like strawberry, cherry, or raspberry, assembling a recipe for rhubarb jam can be a little confusing. What you need is the stirrer. This agitator will help you chop rhubarb into pieces that will dissolve at the boiling point easily.
The Amish band, famous for its simple living and has a great new collection of recipes that are in the Amish Kitchen book, is very rich for anyone who wants to learn about the sweet confection and cooking of this sect, the author of the homestyle Amish kitchen cookbook is Georgia Varozza, which was produced in 2010.
Where can I buy Amish strawberry rhubarb jam?
I know a store that sells Amish strawberry rhubarb jam on Amazon and they have good reviews about this product from the side of people except for one person who had a bad review, although the quality of the product appears good in the description, it is made by the Amish family and at the home of course, but it contains pectin and every jar has a 20 Oz (566g.)
Tips
* Jam will keep for several months, of course, up to a year, but do not forget to make jam in a limited amount, as in the recipe.
* The first procedure in the Amish Strawberry Rhubarb jam is to puree the berries in a blender. I prefer to use a slow-moving blender so the puree will not clump up. You can also puree the berry with a hand blender, but using a slow-moving blender will give you a smooth blend.
* Once you have pureed the berry, it is time to get it ready for use. The best part about this is that you can freeze the puree for later use. This will save you a lot of money when you can use your jam in various ways.
* You will also want to blend the strawberry jam recipe before it is done to prevent any lumps that could form. It is essential to crushing your strawberry correctly because once you grind them, they tend to gather and clump together. This will defeat the purpose of having pureed strawberries.
* After you have pureed the strawberry, you want to make sure that you do not have a smooth texture. If you have had a hard time making jam rhubarb in the past, and you have tried many times, you may have found a consistency where you just wanted to end it all. But since the jam rhubarb will not be smooth, you need to add the strawberry puree at a slower pace, not in a rush.
* A quick tip to keep in mind when making your Amish Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Recipe is to give the jam a few more minutes in the blender. You want to be able to combine the sweet mixture without having to add anything else to the mix.
* There are also many different types of jams that you can use to customize the strawberry jam recipe. For example, if you like the crisp taste of ginger, then you can substitute the maple syrup for the traditional brown sugar to create your version of ginger jam.
