 Recipe Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam (with many thanks to Jill for sharing her recipe)

Ingredients:

• 250 g strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced 
• 250 g rhubarb, trimmed, washed and cut into small pieces 
• 2 ¼ cups sugar 
• juice and rind of a small lemon (optional)

Method:

• Put all fruit into a non-metallic bowl. 
• Cover with half of the sugar. 
• Add juice and rind of a small lemon. (optional)
• Leave to stand overnight.
• Next day, transfer fruit to a saucepan and boil to reduce water content.
• Then add remaining 1 1/8 cup sugar. 
• Bring to boil slowly then boil briskly. 
• Stir occasionally, until setting point then put into sterilised jars.

It makes only a couple of jars but very tasty.
