Sugar Free Rhubarb Jam Recipes

SUGAR-FREE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Wash jars, bands, and lids in hot soapy water. Place jars in water bath canner filled 1/2 way with water. Bring water to a rolling boil. Turn off the burner and leave jars in canner until ready to use.
• Place lids and bands in water in a small saucepan and heat until water simmers. Keep lids & bands in warm water until ready to use.
• If using fresh strawberries, chop into quarters before adding to a large saucepan. Chop the rhubarb into small pieces and add to the saucepan with the cut strawberries.
• Add lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and calcium water to strawberries and blend in well.
• In a bowl add allulose and pectin and blend well.
• Heat the strawberries and rhubarb in the saucepan over medium heat. As they start to soften, mash with the back of a fork, or use a potato masher. I like my jam to be a bit chunky so I only mash a little bit. Mash your strawberries and rhubarb to the consistency that you like. Bring strawberries and rhubarb to a boil.
• Add pectin-sweetener mixture, continuing to mix for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the strawberry rhubarb jam comes back up to a boil. Boil for 1 full minute once the jam reaches the boiling stage.
• Fill jam jars to ¼" to the top. Clean rims with a clean cloth. Add lids and twist bands until finger tight.
• Add jars to the water bath canner when the water in the canner reaches a full boil. Boil 10 full minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level).
• Remove from water. Let jars cool undisturbed for 24 hours.
• Test for seal, if a jar did not seal, you can reprocess it again in the canner for 10 full minutes, or add that jar to the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• If your strawberry rhubarb jam did not gel to the consistency you want you can add the jam back into a saucepan and add another tsp of calcium water. Bring the jam back up to a boil and repeat steps 8 to 11.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST AMAZING RHUBARB JAM WITHOUT SUGAR

Steps:

• Step 1: Add 6 cups of chopped rhubarb to a pot with 1/2 cup of water. Cook it down until you can smash the rhubarb with the back of a spoon. Once your rhubarb reaches this stage, smush it all and take it off the heat. It only took my rhubarb 3 minutes on medium-high heat. Step 2: Measure out your crushed rhubarb to make sure you have 4 cups and put it back in the pan. Add your 1 cup of Erythritol and 1/2 cup of Splenda and the pat of butter. Put the pan back on the heat and bring to a rolling boil. Step 3: Add the pectin when your rhubarb is at a rolling boil and start a timer for 2 minutes. When the timer stops, remove from the heat. Step 4: Use a jar funnel (these things make filling canning jars a breeze) and a ladle and fill your sterilized mason jars Step 5: Cooling and Storing Your Rhubarb Jam Add the lids and set aside to cool. Once your jars are cool, you can put them in the fridge, or toss in the freezer for a later date.

RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thick. It will thicken more as it cools.
• Ladle into hot sterile jars, and seal with lids and rings. Store opened jars in the refrigerator.

PECTIN-FREE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Mix rhubarb and sugar in a large heavy pot and let stand for 2 hours; stir in lemon juice and strawberries. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Set heat to medium-high and cook jam at a full rolling boil until thickened, stirring often to prevent scorching, 20 to 25 minutes. A candy thermometer inserted into the middle of the jam, not touching the pot, should read 220 degrees F (105 degrees C).
• Remove jam from heat and stir for 2 to 3 more minutes; skim off any foam.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food 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 over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full 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 cool. Let jars stand on wire racks for 24 hours to cool and seal. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
