Easy Rhubarb Jam Food

RHUBARB JAM - RHUBARB JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Put chopped rhubarb and sugar in a glass or stainless steel bowl, stir and allow to sit until the sugar is dissolved and there is lots of juice. This can be overnight in the fridge or several hours on the countertop.
• Put into a stainless steel pot (other pots such as cast iron, enamel, copper, or aluminum will react with the ingredients and discolour the jam) over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the rhubarb has broken down, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool, and transfer into jars.
• Rhubarb Jam will keep in the fridge for around three weeks. I didn't process this recipe, but it could be done on a large scale if you have a ton of rhubarb.

EASY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or stock pot, combine the rhubarb, sugar and pineapple. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Jars can be sterilized at the same time.
• After the rhubarb mixture has boiled for 10 minutes, remove from heat, and stir in strawberry flavored gelatin powder. Transfer to sterile jars, seal with lids, and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Allow jars to cool in a draft-free area. Refrigerate jars after seal has been broken.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thick. It will thicken more as it cools.
• Ladle into hot sterile jars, and seal with lids and rings. Store opened jars in the refrigerator.

EASY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Cook rhubarb and water till boiling.
• Add sugar.
• Let mixture come to a rolling boil.
• Boil 2 minutes, stirring often.
• Add Jello and stir well.
• Remove from heat.
• When mixture is almost cool (fruit won't come to the top), put in small freezer containers or small margarine containers.
• Freeze some and keep rest in refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Toss the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan to combine, then mash slightly to release some of the berry juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to macerate and the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer to chill; this will be used to test the doneness of the jam.
• Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. (See Cook's Note for flavor additions.) Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the jam becomes thick and syrupy, about 1 1/2 hours. To test doneness, place a small amount of the jam onto the chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger or spoon through the jam. If the jam holds its shape and thickness, remove from the heat. If it's runny, continue to cook and test again in 5-minute increments. Once the jam has reached the right consistency, transfer to jars and cool completely before storing, covered tightly. Jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Cut rhubarb on bias so it doesn't become stringy.
• Mix sugar and rhubarb in a heavy pan and cook over low heat (add no water).
• Stir and boil 10 minutes then remove from heat.
• Stir in Jello until dissolved.
• Pour into jars and seal with lids or place open jars into the freezer.

RHUBARB & VANILLA JAM

Steps:

• Put a small plate in the freezer. Put the rhubarb into a preserving pan or your largest saucepan with the sugar and halved vanilla pods. Heat gently, stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved, then squeeze in the lemon juice and increase the heat.
• Boil for about 10 mins, skimming off the scum as you go (the fruit should be soft). Test for setting point by spooning a little onto your chilled plate. After 1-2 mins, push your finger through the jam - if the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not, keep cooking for 2-min intervals, testing in between. (Or if you have a sugar thermometer it should reach 105C)
• Once the jam is ready, let it cool for about 15 mins before ladling into warm sterilised jars and sealing. Will keep for 6 months in a cool, dark place.

RHUBARB & GINGER JAM

Steps:

• Wash the rhubarb under cold running water and slice into 2cm pieces. Tip into a large ceramic or plastic bowl and add the jam sugar, lemon zest and juice, and chopped stem ginger. Finely grate the peeled ginger directly over the rhubarb.
• Stir the mixture thoroughly, cover loosely with cling film and leave to one side for about 2 hrs to allow the sugar to dissolve into the rhubarb juices. You may need to stir the mixture occasionally to encourage this process along.
• Pop a few saucers in the freezer. Scoop the fruit and all the sugary juices into a preserving pan and set over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, and bring to the boil. Continue to cook at a fairly swift pace until the rhubarb is really tender and the conserve has reached setting point - this should take about 10-15 mins.
• To test for a set, drop ½ tsp of the jam onto a cold saucer, leave it for 30 secs, then gently push it with the tip of your finger. If the jam wrinkles the setting point has been reached. If not, continue to cook for a further couple of minutes and test again.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave to one side for 2-3 mins before pouring into sterilised jars. Seal immediately and label with the date once completely cold.

RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Bring rhubarb, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a large pot, stirring often. Cook, stirring often, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a wooden or metal spoon when lifted from mixture, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice to taste. Let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
