Oh that sounds like a good one, but I too prefer to use own grown produce and we lost our blueberries to birds last year. Still waiting for allotment neighbour to give us some rhubarb. Chief Digger refuses to buy any on the basis that “there’s always someone trying to give us rhubarb..” …eeerrh yeah right, that’s why I’ve still not got any is it?!

Sounds delicious – and I love the shots!

I just adore this empty jar image. A sign that this jam must be very good?

Your rhubarb lime jam is awesome all by itself but the addition of blueberries? I am so trying this! We planted blueberries last year as well.

i couldn’t think of a more useful jam for me – meaning each year I am loaded with both blueberries and rhubarb. I normally do blueberry lime marmalade, but I must try the addition of rhubarb! and the color is ravishing!

I have frozen berries..does that make a difference in making jams?

My blueberries were frozen when I tested my recipe and it worked out fine. Freezing fruit can affect the pectin, the stuff required to help your jam form a good set but that will also be affected by the ripeness or under ripeness of the fruit before freezing. Neither blueberries or rhubarb are high in pectin but the consistency of this jam works fine for me. If you like a thicker set then you can boost the pectin with special jam sugar that has pectin added to it.

Thanks for the info..do you have to thaw the berries before you proceed?

Blueberries thaw very quickly anyway. If your frozen berries are stuck together in a big lump, it might be worth breaking them up a bit first. Otherwise just use them from frozen.

I just love your recipes and your photos! This looks like another one we’re going to have to try. We’ve never preserved anything with rhubarb and it’s something we’d like to try.

Have just discovered your fantastic blog, and have bought the ingredients to make this. Keep the recipes coming, fantastic 🙂

Hmm. You hardly seem to have “gone off the rails”; you seem to be hard at it. I’m most jealous of your getting to the Marmalade Festival; our own local equivalent is still a comparatively junior affair.

Re: antique jars: shall I mail you a couple of packs of rubber rings then?

As I was falling asleep two nights ago your jam and preserve combination came to mind, love your ideas, you should have your own little cottage production line going! 🙂

I have just made this with new seasons rhubarb and it is really delicious. The flavours are subtle and you can taste lime bluberry and rhubarb-nothing dominates- really good!
It’s a great jam for people who may be suspicious of rhubarb jam ( they do exist!1)

[…] had bragged about how delicious and beautiful Gloria Nicol’s Blueberry- Rhubarb-Lime Jam was that I made a couple of weeks ago so we made a batch of that. Both times I’ve made […]

Oh, how I wish we could trade! I have a forest (and freezer) chock full of blueberries, but am not allowed to touch my newly planted rhubarb plant until next season…

[…] ball of dough and repeat, use the same jam or try something different. We love Gloria’s Rhubarb, Blueberry & Lime Jam in these pop tarts […]

I finally made this today with the last pickings of my rhubarb plant and our freshly picked blueberries. Yummy….it was fantastic! It did take a long time for mine to be set ready….must have boiled it for 35-40 mintues. Can’t wait to swirl this in yogurt, add to ice cream or put it on toast. Thanks so much!

This was the first jam I ever made and its amazing!

I can’t wait to try this jam. I’ll have to try and convert the recipe as I don’t have a scale. Approx how many cups of sugar is that? Is I’m not a canner but I have a question: What is the purpose of the round of wax paper in the jar? Great pictures on your blog! Can’t wait to get some more time and read more of it:)
