In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the rhubarb, plums, sugar, orange juice, water, and orange zest to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, check six pint-sized jars for cracks and the rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Keep them immersed in simmering water until the jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.

Spoon the jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Slide a clean knife or thin spatula around the inside of each jar to release any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove residue. Place the lids on and screw the rings on tightly.

Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil and use a holder to lower the jars into the boiling water, spacing them 2 inches apart. Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Return to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
- 5
Lift the jars out of the stockpot and let them rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to confirm it does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and keep the jars in a cool, dark place.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
