Bottling and preserving rhubarb is a great way of using up excess and in my kids' opinion making rhubarb jam is even better! Please see below for the full written rhubarb jam recipe .

How to make rhubarb jam recipe - to make approx 1kg you will need:
650g chopped rhubarb
1.5 cups of sugar
1/2 a lemon
Coat rhubarb in the sugar in a pot, squeeze the lemon over it and leave the lemon in there. Let it sit for 1hr. Bring it to the boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until it's reached setting point.

Thanks! I just made this today. I added a touch of citric acid to help increase tartness, and also decreased the sugar a little. I think it turned out really well!

It's certainly been popular at my place - I may have to look at growing some now just for this purpose!

I hope (a year later) that you did. If you haven't, you will NOT be disappointed! It looks like she used the pink variety here instead of green. They both taste the same, but the pink results in such a beautiful color. Rhubarb also makes an amazing pie, and either the jam or pie can be mixed 50/50 with strawberry.

A) what an adorable family B) I’m watching this in Bellefonte, Delaware, USA. I have the closed captioning running. American closed captioning cannot interpret NZ accents. It’s pretty funny what CC comes up with!

Thanks! haha - I've actually been told the same thing by my brother when watching one of my videos without eh sound on - apparently I come out with some brilliantly weird sentences! I considered just making subtitles myself but it took way too long to delete all the silly comments and put in what I actually said ... so decided to just leave it and make life interesting 😂👍

I made made mine before i saw this video and it was greenish -- was it because rhubarb was mostly green than red? __ anyway it turned out a similar consistency like this recipe (not watery in the beginning and later pastey, like other recipes ) -- it was a tasty sour sweet I like.

@CheaperWaysNZ 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I'd assume it would be because of the colour of the rhubarb ... I like jams a bit sour/sweet too - my favourity is with nice tangy plums 🙂

Could i use lime instead of lemon... hoping you see this... ive got everything ready to go but i have lime not lemon 😩

Hey - I haven't tried it myself but I have heard they are interchangeable, so you just use about the same about you would lemon juice 👍 let me know how you get on!

I’ve never called it jarring before but I’m not in New Zealand. Often wondered why not I never ask for a can of jam. It’s always called a jam jar....

I once upon a time had a huge rhubarb plant, but I pulled it out and put a plum tree in its place. Rhubarb is too invasive. I have little rhubarb plants popping up here and there unfortunately. I do have a very large pot though that I might plant some in.

@CheaperWaysNZ 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah we're gonna have to plant some of our own - always been given it but this jam didn't last long enough so could be worth it for us - lol
