While I’m sitting here in Miami in a hotel room, I’m thinking about the jam that I made last week, strawberry rhubarb jam. After trying rhubarb in the UK, rhubarb has become my latest obsession. It’s tart and have a clean taste to finish. Since strawberry has a more robust flavor and sweeter, it’s great pairing with rhubarb. With both produces are in season, this jam is a no-brainer.

To start, cut the strawberries into slices, then toss with sugar. Let it sit while you start to prepare the rhubarb. Cut the rhubarb into small pieces. Toss with lemon zest and juice. Cook until the rhubarb are almost melted, about 10 minutes. Now add the strawberries with sugar and vanilla. Cook until thickened and jam-like, about 20 minutes. That’s it! Cool to room temperature and store in the fridge. Can’t be more easy.

When you take a spoonful of the jam, you first get the sweet strawberry, then you can taste the tart rhubarb after. It’s not too sweet and not too tart. It’s really good with scones, toasts, yogurt or even cake. Since it’s a small batch jam, I didn’t bother to can them. I just keep them in the fridge. You can make more and can them if you like, but make sure to do it properly.

Enjoy, guys! I can’t wait to get back home and work on some scones to go with this tasty jam.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces fresh strawberries
  • ¾ cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 pound fresh rhubarb
  • Zest of half lemon
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Instructions

  • For the strawberries, wash, pat dry, hull and slice. In a medium non-reactive bowl, toss strawberries and sugar together. Let it macerate for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the rhubarb. Trim off ends and make sure to remove all leaves. Cut into ½-inch pieces.
  • In a medium non-reactive saucepan, add rhubarb, lemon zest & lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid partially, and cook until the rhubarb has softened and broken apart completely, about 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Now, add the strawberries with sugar (including any liquid). Add vanilla bean paste or extract. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until mixture is reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Carefully transfer the jam to clean heat-proof containers or glass jars (with lid). Cool to room temperature. Cover with lid and store in the fridge.

Notes

  1. Rhubarb is in season during spring time from April to June in the US. Pick ones that are firm with no bruises and not too thick. Thicker ones are more fibrous. Colors don’t matter too much. 
  2. Non-reactive materials mean ceramics, enamel, glass, plastic, or stainless steel. Reactive materials, like aluminum, will react to the acid in food and have a metallic taste.
  3. Jam can last for a few weeks in the fridge.

Looking for a refreshing beverage this summer? Thi Looking for a refreshing beverage this summer? This Thai Iced Tea w/ Lime (Cha Ma Nao) can’t be more perfect. It’s made w/ the same tea mix like Thai iced tea, but without dairy & with lime juice. Seriously much better than Thai iced tea in my opinion! Light, little sour & little sweet!

While in Miami, I fulfilled my wish of eating a Cu While in Miami, I fulfilled my wish of eating a Cubano in the Sunshine State. I did a ton of researches to find the best Cubano in Miami. I ended up going to Sanguich (@sanguichdemiami) in Little Havana. Light Cuban bread, slow roasted pork, sweet ham, Swiss cheese, pickles & mustard. Perfectly pressed! Juicy, flavorful, & just amazing!

A totally unexpected trip to Miami. Didn’t find A totally unexpected trip to Miami. Didn’t find out until 36 hours before departure, Bryan had to fill in for a co-worker. Even though Bryan was busy at conference most of the time, we did get a quick glimpse of Ocean Drive in South Beach. Love the Art Deco architecture & colorful neon light. Very iconic!

Even though it was drizzling almost the whole time we were there, it’s still gorgeous! Haggis was absolutely delicious. If you don’t know what it’s made of, it really tasted like flavorful ground meat w/ little chewy texture from the oatmeal. We loved it! Next time, I would like to check out Loch Ness too!😉
