An old recipe for rhubarb jam with no added pectin.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups diced fresh rhubarb
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • red food coloring, if desired, for color

Preparation:

Combine rhubarb, sugar, ginger, and lemon juice in a large saucepan; let stand until sugar is moistened by juices, about 20 minutes. Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until thick and clear, about 15 minutes.

Skim off foam and add red food coloring if using. Ladle into hot sterilized canning jars and seal immediately. Process in boiling water bath 10 minutes; adjust seals.
Makes about 3 half-pints of rhubarb jam.

"This is the second ""rhubarb season"" that I've made this recipe. It is quick, easy and I've had fabulous reviews from friends and family. The ginger adds a little something but doesn't over-power the rhubarb. I also add a little lemon zest (about a tsp.) for a really fresh taste. More people should try to make homemade jam. You just can't get this fresh flavor from the market. The effort is worth it, and your family will love you!"
