Hi Morgan, thanks for your question. Just to clarify these are 2 cups of strawberries chopped. (2 cups strawberries frozen (or fresh) – washed, tops removed and cut into quarters). This jam will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator or for 6 months in the freezer. However, it is a small batch and never lasts a week in our fridge.

And how long does this keep for in the fridge?

Hi Kat, this strawberry rhubarb jam makes 24 tablespoon's or 12 ounces of jam (small batch). Yes, as the jam cooks it thickens to the consistency of regular strawberry jam. We can't wait for you to try it. Also, many of our readers love our Apricot Freezer jam recipe that is also made without refined sugar or pectin. Apricots are in season right now too and so sweet. We hope you give it a try soon. Stay well and take care

Hi again--maybe I missed it--but how many jam jars does this make?

And without pectin, does it still thicken to the consistency of normal jam?

It looks great! Excited to make it.

Hi there Kat, because this strawberry rhubarb refrigerator jam is made without pectin, there is no need to let it is set out for 24 hours to allow it to set before putting it in the freezer. However, you will need to make sure that the jam is cooled and that there is extra space on the top of the container because the jam will expand when it freezes. Enjoy your day!

Hello Linda, thanks for your great question. You would use the same amount or maybe just 1/4 more of fruit because you may want to strain the raspberries to remove the skin or the raspberries to remove the seeds. Of course, you do not need to strain them with a fine mesh strainer but if you like a smoother jam - you may want to do this. It is completely up to your preferred preference. Thank you and take care

Thank you.

Linda
