Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 500g fresh rhubarb, washed and chopped into small pieces
  • 350g granulated sugar (natural)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
  • 100ml water
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and chop fresh rhubarb into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and release of juices.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar (natural), lemon juice (natural), water, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir gently to blend all flavors.
  3. Cook the Mixture: Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally until the rhubarb softens and the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Add Natural Gelling Agent: Gradually sprinkle in the natural gelling agent while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the jam back to a boil for a few minutes to activate the setting process.
  5. Test and Jar the Jam: Test the jam’s consistency by placing a small spoonful on a cold plate; it should hold its shape. Pour the warm jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.

Notes

  • Pick fresh, crisp rhubarb stalks with a deep red hue for best flavor and color.
  • Adjust sugar amount based on preferred sweetness and rhubarb tartness.
  • Stir regularly during cooking to prevent sticking and burning.
  • Use sterilized jars and seal immediately to maintain freshness.
  • Avoid overcooking to preserve vibrant color and fresh flavor.
