What it is
This is a sweet and tart fruit preserve made from strawberries and rhubarb. The combination offers a unique flavor profile, balancing the sweetness of strawberries with the distinct tang of rhubarb. It is a spreadable condiment that captures the essence of these two fruits in a jar. The texture is typically smooth with some small pieces of fruit. It is a popular choice for those who enjoy a balance of sweet and sour notes in their spreads.
How people cook with it
This preserve is a versatile addition to many meals and snacks. It can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, from simple toast toppings to more complex culinary creations.
- Spread on toast or bagels
- Dollop onto yogurt or oatmeal
- Serve with cheese and crackers
- Use as a filling for pastries
Open the jar and use a clean spoon to spread it onto your desired food. It is excellent on warm, buttered toast or a freshly baked scone. Try it as a topping for vanilla ice cream or as a layer in a simple cake. It also pairs wonderfully with a selection of cheeses, providing a sweet counterpoint to savory flavors. For a more adventurous use, consider incorporating it into a glaze for pork or chicken.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pure strawberry jam, the addition of rhubarb introduces a noticeable tartness and a slightly more complex flavor. This tartness helps to cut through the sweetness, making it less cloying than some other fruit preserves. The rhubarb also contributes a unique texture and aroma.

Home cooks and bakers who appreciate the distinct flavor of strawberry and rhubarb will enjoy this preserve.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the preserves refrigerated to maintain freshness. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses. Properly stored, it can be enjoyed for an extended period. Check the expiration date on the jar for guidance.
