How do you thicken rhubarb jam?
The quick way to thicken jam is to use boxed pectin. The mixture is pretty simple: some fruit and sugar cooked together. Add the box of pectin and it instantly thickens.
Is rhubarb high or low in pectin?
While rhubarb is a low pectin fruit (technically a vegetable really…) it’s possible to make a simple rhubarb jam without any added pectin. I make it by simply macerating the rhubarb in sugar overnight. This draws out the liquid from the sliced rhubarb, and the liquid can be cooked into a thick rhubarb syrup.
Can I use frozen rhubarb for canning?
I vacuum pack mine into 4 cup portions as most of my recipes all for 4 cups of rhubarb. You can also use frozen rhubarb to later make into jam and desserts.

Why did my rhubarb jam not set?
Ensuring jam set without pectin
Rhubarb is low in pectin, and pectin contributes to jam set. This doesn’t mean that your rhubarb jam won’t set if you make a batch of rhubarb jam without pectin. But the fact that rhubarb is low in pectin does mean that you must make sure to hit the jam setting point, temperature wise.
Why is my strawberry rhubarb jam runny?
This is a very common mishap, and can occur for a couple of reasons. It may because there is not enough pectin and acid in the mixture. Or it may be because the temperature of 104C was not reached when cooking. While hot the jam will seem runny, but be patient, as jam takes a while to cool and set.
Do you peel rhubarb when making jam?
Rhubarb season runs from April to July, and at its peak, you don’t need to peel rhubarb for jam, strawberry-rhubarb crumbles, pies, or crisps. The stalks are tender-ish and crunchy. Later in the season, in July, the stalks tend to get fibrous and tough. Peeling the stalks will make for a tastier more pleasant mouthful.
How can I thicken jam without pectin?
The secret ingredient to making jam without pectin is time. The fruit and sugar need plenty of time to cook and thicken. A long, slow boil drives the moisture out of the fruit, helping to preserve and thicken it at the same time. Fruit varies in water content as well, and some fruits may take longer to jam up.
What can I use instead of pectin for jam?
Pectin is an important ingredient for making jams and jellies but it is not an essential one. There are several substitutes for pectin that are much more accessible. You can use citrus peels, tapioca, chia seeds, gelatin, cornstarch, or agar. You can even try the traditional method of slow cooking with lots more sugar.

What is the best way to preserve rhubarb?
Rhubarb can be packed into containers or freezer bags raw or pre-heated. Raw rhubarb gives a good quality frozen product without added sugar. According to the National Center for Home Food Preservation, heating rhubarb in boiling water one minute and cooling promptly in cold water helps retain color and flavor.
Can rhubarb be canned without sugar?
You can always can it plain without sugar and add sugar later (or just eat it as is with a bit of pucker). The instructions for canning rhubarb have you first macerate the chopped rhubarb in sugar to draw out its juices, and then it’s canned in those very same juices (without added water).
