Here is to continue my rhubarb obsession for this season. This jam is amazing. I mean, really, anything strawberry rhubarb is bound to be delicious. I was super pumped to make this. I even doubled the batch so I could have plenty throughout the year in my pantry. It is a lovely balance between strawberry and rhubarb flavor. It is perfect on toast, scones, or my favorite snack; ritz crackers, cream cheese and jam.
