Combine ingredients

01

Add the rhubarb, strawberries, honey and lemon juice to a large pot. Sit on the stove over a medium heat to liquify the honey.

Add the spice

02

Add star anise once you can stir the ingredients around the pot easily. Bring the pot to a boil, then simmer with the lid off for 2.5 hours.

Reduce the jam

03

The jam will thicken as it reduces on the stove. When done, it will still be pourable with most of the rhubarb and strawberries broken down.

Test for doneness

04

To test the jam is ready, add a dollop to a saucer straight out of the freezer. If a line remains after your finger is run through, it's done.

Add to jars

05

Once done, pour into spotlessly clean jars and keep in the fridge for up to two months. The recipe is also suitable for canning.
