Rhubarb and ginger jam (Aqui)AquiModerator Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 316 Location: my desk, Londonish Posted: 02 May 2006 10:55 am Post subject: Rhubarb and ginger jam -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ingredients (for 3lbs) 1kg trimmed rhubarb, chopped 1kg sugar juice of two small lemons 25g root ginger 100g crystalised ginger, chopped 1. Mix the chopped rhubarb, sugar and lemon juice in a large bowl and leave overnight 2. Bash the root ginger to break the root up a bit and tie in a muslin bag. Put the rhubarb mixture and the ginger muslin bag in a heavy pan and boil rapidly for 15 mins. 3. Remove the root ginger bag, add the preserved ginger and boil again until the rhubarb is clear. 4. Test for a set by leaving a small amount of the jam mix on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, then it's ready. 5. Skim the surface of the jam with a slotted spoon then pot and seal in sterilised jars. My sis loves this one! _________________ The quiet power of growing things is truly magical Back to top Cabbagepatch Perennial Joined: 02 Mar 2006 Posts: 478 Posted: 02 May 2006 11:07 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds delicious.
