I love strawberry jam, I love it very much! It is one of my favorites homemade jams!
If, on the one hand, I do not love industrial strawberry jams at all, because very often are “all sugar and no fruit” and the taste of strawberries is minimum, on the other I find instead that the homemade strawberries jam is delicious!
Today I propose you a very special jam: strawberries and rhubarb (another of my favorite ingredients) because I believe that the strawberry and rhubarb combo is something magical and divine!
For this jam I used C. Ferber’s method. She use a 1: 1 ratio between sugar and fruit. Following my family habits and traditions in terms of jams and also my personal taste that keep me away from overly sweet jams, I have reduced the sugar maintaining the steps of her recipe. As you can see I got some delicious jams, with an intense and rich aroma and bright and vivid colors!
