So.... I got another batch of rhubarb picked and it was another hefty load! Yay!! I'm going to do something fancy with some of it, but thought since I had so much, I'd make jam out of it. I have this thing with jams and butters - - I DO so enjoy making butters and jams!!
Super easy... for the most part. (Note: I'm not canning this... just making it to use it right away.)
|
Add 5 cups of chopped rhubarb to a large pot on stove. |
|
Next add 2 cups of white sugar. |
|
Then add 3/4 cup of orange juice & turn onto med/high heat. |
|
Keep an eye on it -- bring it to a boil then let simmer for a long time. The rhubarb will become soft and start falling apart - - yay!! I let my simmer for close to 3 hours, stirring it quite a bit from time to time, then put it aside and let it cool. |
|
Once it's completely cooled, I put it in a jar. |
I also put some on toast and ate it with my boys - - it's a bit sweet and sour, it was wonderful!!!
