Balsamic Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves

Jams, jelly or preserves? I’m a preserves kinda girl through and through. I like a little texture going on. Plus it’s less work. Truth. Strawberry is my preserve poison of choice. It’s what I gravitate to, well that and Fig Preserves, which is also the bomb diggity.

Lately I’ve been on the strawberry rhubarb bandwagon. Adding the rhubarb to the mix adds another dimension, it takes it from casual sundress to cocktail dress but in the culinary sense. This preserve is giving my old favorite a run for it’s pole position in my pantry.

During the summer I make a lot of preserves. I make them in large batches if I’m on a canning kick and small batches when I just want a few containers to tide us over in the fridge for the next two weeks. Either way my go to preserve pots are my Le Creuset French Ovens. I have several different sizes and colors and these gorgeous pots aren’t for show. No sir.

They’re used day in and day out in my kitchen. Heck some of them even live on my stove that’s how often I use them. Not kidding. The rest are stored on top of my pantry cabinet in the laundry room a few steps from the stove. I’m currently in LOVE with this LAPIS Le Creuset round French oven. She’s on loan (and can be found exclusively at Williams Sonoma) and traveling the country participating in the PASS IT ON POTLUCK tour.

This pot travels in STYLE. She arrived on my door in a large, very well padded bright orange suitcase.

I’ve enjoyed my time with her and am sad to see her go but am excited to following along on her travels #lapispotluck to see what others are going to be whipping up.

In the meantime I’m going to slather these preserves along with mascarpone on toast. It’s totally a thing. In my world at least.

    Strawberry season is supposed to start this week or next (finally!!), and I’m so excited to make some strawberry preserves and jams – definitely need to try a strawberry-balsamic combo!

    What a fun idea to pass the LC around! 😉 Although, I’d have a hard time parting with it. I’m loving everything about these preserves!

  23. Danielle says

    If properly sealed while hot in say a mason jar, would this last unrefrigerated (in the pantry)? For how long?

    Also have you ever successfully halved the batch?

    Thanks! Sounds great!

    This may be a silly question as I am brand new to making preserves, but could this recipe be processed and canned? I am having a hard time limiting myself to just the basic strawberry jam recipe (although I’m sure it is a delight) and this recipe is exactly the kind I’d like to make. Help a new canner out?

    The DIRECTIONS for this recipe, BALSAMIC ROASTED STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PRESERVES, appears to be missing from this post. I’ve made it before so I know the directions were here before.
    I was going to make this over this weekend for a family event. Any chance you could email me those directions?
    Thank you!

      Hi Paulette, apologies the recipe is showing in the post now. We’ve been importing over our recipes one by one to a new card and some are still in process. So glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the preserves and are making them again.

    I just inherited an old garden bed full of rhubarb and have never tried it before. this sounds right up my alley, but I have two questions I hope you can answer.
    1. How much does this batch make?
    2. Will this be shelf stable if processed in a hot water bath?
    Thanks.
    Kim
