Strawberry, Rhubarb & Champagne Jam

Jam but fancy

Hello I’m coming at you with a little mid week jam recipe! I’d had a bit of a jam making break and needed to top up my supplies, I’m working on my wedding cake menu and I don’t think this jam can be beaten as a filling for a wedding cake, it’s a crowd pleaser without being too boring, it’s summery, tangy and anything containing Champagne feels celebratory!

This jam used the last of my frozen rhubarb supply (sob) but I’ve just planted some in my very tiny garden so I’m hoping to grow my own next year. I’ve used forced rhubarb in my jam which has a lovely pink colour but regular rhubarb works just as well, it’s great with the strawberries as they brighten the colour up a bit, I love the taste of rhubarb but the green stuff doesn’t make the prettiest jam by itself and often looks rather sludgy, if you do find your jam looking a bit swampy don’t be afraid to just throw a touch of food colouring in there.
