This jam is delightful! Great combination of the peach and rhubarb. It's not too sweet, just a nice mellow flavor. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

should i drain the peaches after dicing or does the receipe include the juice?
-
Is the pectin and sugar mixed dry?

Easy recipe! My kids and my husband all agree that this one is a keeper!

Very good and easy recipe. For safety sakes I'd water bath this about 10 minutes. You cannot count that it will seal just sitting on the counter without water bathing it first. -
I love this recipe! I made peach jam last year and it was too sweet for my liking. The rhubarb adds a great tang to this recipe. And in addition to the lemon juice that the recipe calls for, I added the zest of one lemon. Very tangy but sweet at the same time. As well, the 4 1/2 teaspoons of dry pectin seemed a bit low so I added a full package of pectin. It was thick but still not totally set up so I'll probably use two packages next time given the amount of fruit. But regardless, it's still delicious! Yum!
