or I'll put it here:
Ingredients 3 1/2 cups fresh or * frozen rhubarb, chopped into 1/2" pieces
1/2 cup water
2 1/4 cups blueberries, mashed
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 pkg. (approx. 57 gram size) powdered fruit pectin
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine

Directions
In a non reactive pan, combine the water and the rhubarb and mix.
Bring the above mixture to boil over high heat.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning and sticking.
Add the mashed blueberries, lemon juice, and pectin, and mix well to combine.
Add the butter or margarine to reduce foaming.
Return to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently to avoid sticking and burning.
Add the sugar, and return mixture to a full boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid sticking and burning.
Remove jam from heat.
Ladle jam into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4" headspace.
Add the hot lid (disc) and the screw band and tighten until fingertip tight.
Place jar back in canner. Repeat above process for the remaining jam.
Cover canner, return water to a boil.
Process - boil the jam filled jars for 10 minutes, or as per manufacturer's instructions, and then remove jars.
Cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours.
Store in a cool, dark place.After opening, jam must be stored in the refrigerator.
