Rhubarb-Ginger Jam

"This was printed a few summers ago in the Montreal Gazette. They had found it on epicurious.com. One of these I'm going to try rhubarb, because I've been itching to try it since I found this recipe."

  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan, stirring over medium high heat until sugar dissolves.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until jam thickens and mounds on a spoon (about 20 minutes); stir often to prevent scorching.
  • Transfer to jars, cover and chill. Keep refrigerated.

  1. YUM! Probably a good idea to double it next time:)
     
  2. I changed this recipe too much to rate it. It was the best recipe I found for what I was looking for and I looked at a lot of them. I used lemon zest and the juice because that is what I had. I added almost a half cup of crystallized ginger and added a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger--I think it could have still used more. I cooked the rhubarb, lemon zest, juice and ginger and also added 2/3 cup of water for about 10 min. I added 2 tablespoons of pectin and brought back to a rolling boil for 1 min, I added 2 cups of sugar all at once like that pectin jar said. I put in sterilized jars and hot water bathed for 10 min. It is very good jam. I have only made jam a few times and only with pectin and that is why I felt the need to change the recipe so much. I needed this review for my records.
     
  3. I made this in my new bread maker. I had that setting on the old one but never tried it. After consulting the manufacturer I cut the recipe in half (the service rep said there was too much volume), cooked the rhubarb about 1/2 way and went for it. I made this for DH as he's a jam lover and after chilling for awhile he pronounced 5 stars. Couldn't have been much easier and I like the smaller amount because it's just for one person.
     
  4. this is very good im glad i tried it very easy also tart flavor i agree more ginger could be added
     
  5. I would give this ten stars if I could, I love rhubarb and ginger together. This is just perfect for me as my DH won't eat jam, so this is just the right amount., I made it to the recipe, but you could put more ginger in that would be nice. Made for ZWT#6 2010. Thank you posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an Israeli-Canadian who grew up in Montreal Quebec. I love to cook, especially for family and friends, and I love to experiment with recipes and try to do different variations of the same recipe. I did do part of cooking school, but found the place stressful and all the good recipes high in fat and calories, even the good ones. I don't have a fave cookbook, but I eat kosher. I have a dream and that is to own my own B&B one of these days. I also love creative writing, and maybe I like to try make up a recipe of my own and see if I'm good at doing that. I have to add that I do have some favourite chefs from the Food Network. They are Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian; Micheal Smith from Chef at Home; Jamie Oliver and everything he does; Anna Olson from Sugar; and Chef Gordon Ramsey from Hells' Kitchen and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/HerbsandSpicesSwap2009Sticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/banner2009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=100%> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Award%20Banners/kittencaljpg.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Banners/AMBadgeGenTP2009.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/CookbookParticipation.jpg"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/snow-queens-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/pot-luck-sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/Masked-reveller-at-Carniv-0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/craze1banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/craze-e2banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/3Craze-E.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> spring 08 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> fall 08 <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> spring 09 <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> fall 09 <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/sticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC9-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/soup_banner.jpg"></a> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefs2008Small.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg">
