- 8 black peppercorns
- 11 cups hulled and halved (or quartered if very large) strawberries (about 4 pounds)
- 3 cups 1/2-inch-wide pieces rhubarb, halved if really thick (6 to 7 stalks, trimmed and leaves removed)
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained orange juice
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch

Instructions
