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!
