Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb stalks, washed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash the fresh rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off the ends. Chop the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and to help release their natural juices.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, add the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon juice (natural), and water. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly before heating.
  3. Cook and Simmer: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer until the rhubarb softens and breaks down, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Slowly sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while whisking continuously to avoid clumps. Continue stirring well to help the jam set smoothly once cooled.
  5. Test the Jam’s Consistency: After simmering for an additional 5 minutes, spoon a small amount of jam onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, the jam is ready. If not, simmer a bit longer and test again.
  6. Jar the Jam: Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool at room temperature before refrigerating or sharing.

Notes

  • Use firm, brightly colored rhubarb stalks without blemishes for best flavor.
  • Chop rhubarb evenly to ensure uniform cooking and texture.
  • Allow the jam to cool fully to develop its proper consistency before storing.
  • Sterilize jars by boiling jars and lids in water for 10 minutes and letting them air dry.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness carefully to balance tartness and sugar.
