Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

  • 1kg rhubarb, chopped
  • 900g jam sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 8 cardamom pods (seeds crushed)
  • 2 tsp vanilla paste

Method

  1. Place the rhubarb and sugar in a large pan and leave overnight.
  2. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring continuously.
  3. Place a few saucers in the freezer and sterilise your jars.
  4. Once the rhubarb has reached boiling point, add the lemon, cardamom and vanilla and boil vigorously for approximately 10 minutes.
  5. To check if the jam is done, place a small piece of jam on one of the plates, run your finger through the jam and see if it wrinkles. Or use a thermometer to check if the temperature has risen to 105°C.
  6. Pour into your sterilised jars and store in a cool dark place. Once opened, store in the fridge.
