Sweet strawberries and sour rhubarb are combined in this jam and give a special flavor combination. It is very easy to make rhubarb strawberry jam yourself. The fruity spread sweetens the start of your day at the breakfast table. A detailed strawberry rhubarb jam recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.
Heavenly delicious combination
In spring, strawberries and rhubarb are in season at the same time. They combine perfectly with each other in terms of taste. And you just have to take advantage of that.
You can make a delicious jam from this combination. This way you can preserve strawberries and rhubarb together for a long time and enjoy them all year round, even out of season.
Besides, homemade strawberry rhubarb jam is a nice gift to surprise your loved ones with.
I used strawberries and rhubarb in a 1:1 ratio in the recipe. But you can experiment with it and change the proportions to taste.
For example, use a little more strawberries, but less rhubarb for the jam. It also works the other way around.

Strawberry rhubarb jam without preserving sugar
This strawberry rhubarb jam, just like my blackcurrant jam, I made with apple pectin** and without preserving sugar. This is because preserving sugar usually consists of sugar, pectin and citric acid.
You can adjust the amount of pectin in the recipe depending on the desired consistency of the jam. For this, follow the package instructions of your pectin.
Alternatively, you can make the jam just as well with preserving sugar. In this case, use preserving sugar that does not contain unnecessary additives. Replace sugar and pectin in the recipe with the same amount, i.e. about 330 g of preserving sugar 3:1.
Fine or with pieces
I like jams with pieces of fruit. That’s why I didn’t puree my strawberry rhubarb jam.
If you like a fine jam without pieces, puree it after cooking, as I did with the apple jam. Then bring it back to a boil and cook it bubbling for another minute.
The homemade rhubarb strawberry jam is

- sweet sour,
- incredibly tasty,
- aromatic,
- easy and quick to make,
- without preserving sugar,
- ideal as a spread or for baking.
