For us, there are few things as yummy as home-
made Jam on freshly toasted Bread! Here is
a great recipe made from Rhubarb.
INGREDIENTS:
– 1.0 kg frozen So Smoothies Rhubarb
– 1.0 kg Sugar
– 2 Vanilla Pods
– Juice from 1 large lemon
METHOD
- Place small plate in freezer. Put the frozen 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.
Sterilising jars
Wash your jars in hot, soapy water, then leave in a low oven to dry completely. Keep them warm. Alternatively, run the jars and lids through a hot dishwasher cycle, then let them dry.
