Rhubarb Beer Jam Recipes

RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and water. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thick. It will thicken more as it cools.
• Ladle into hot sterile jars, and seal with lids and rings. Store opened jars in the refrigerator.

RHUBARB JAM WITHOUT PECTIN

Steps:

• Mix the chopped rhubarb and sugar together. Allow the rhubarb pieces to macerate in the sugar overnight.
• Strain the juice from the rhubarb pieces and place the sugar/juice mixture into a jam pot.
• Bring the juice to a simmer over medium heat and cook for a few minutes until thickened.
• Add the rhubarb and cook for another 5 minutes until the rhubarb is cooked and the jam thickens to your preference. (You can test consistency on a small plate placed in the freezer.)
• Pour the jam into prepared canning jars with 1/4 inch headspace. Either store in the refrigerator/freezer for immediate use, or process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes for a shelf stable rhubarb jam.

EASIEST RHUBARB JAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Put a saucer in the freezer.
• Heat rhubarb and lemon juice over medium heat.
• Increase the heat and boil for 10 minutes. Add pectin and boil for another 10 minutes.
• Now add the sugar and boil for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until a little jam congeals on the saucer (from the freezer).
• Boil some water to rinse the jars and lids just before filling them. Pour hot jam into the jars and close immediately.
• You can let the jars cool and keep in the fridge or process them so that they're safely sealed.

RHUBARB & VANILLA JAM

Steps:

• Put a small plate in the freezer. Put the rhubarb into a preserving pan or your largest saucepan with the sugar and halved vanilla pods. Heat gently, stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved, then squeeze in the lemon juice and increase the heat.
• Boil for about 10 mins, skimming off the scum as you go (the fruit should be soft). Test for setting point by spooning a little onto your chilled plate. After 1-2 mins, push your finger through the jam - if the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not, keep cooking for 2-min intervals, testing in between. (Or if you have a sugar thermometer it should reach 105C)
• Once the jam is ready, let it cool for about 15 mins before ladling into warm sterilised jars and sealing. Will keep for 6 months in a cool, dark place.

EASY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or stock pot, combine the rhubarb, sugar and pineapple. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Jars can be sterilized at the same time.
• After the rhubarb mixture has boiled for 10 minutes, remove from heat, and stir in strawberry flavored gelatin powder. Transfer to sterile jars, seal with lids, and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Allow jars to cool in a draft-free area. Refrigerate jars after seal has been broken.

RHUBARB & GINGER JAM

Steps:

• Wash the rhubarb under cold running water and slice into 2cm pieces. Tip into a large ceramic or plastic bowl and add the jam sugar, lemon zest and juice, and chopped stem ginger. Finely grate the peeled ginger directly over the rhubarb.
• Stir the mixture thoroughly, cover loosely with cling film and leave to one side for about 2 hrs to allow the sugar to dissolve into the rhubarb juices. You may need to stir the mixture occasionally to encourage this process along.
• Pop a few saucers in the freezer. Scoop the fruit and all the sugary juices into a preserving pan and set over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, and bring to the boil. Continue to cook at a fairly swift pace until the rhubarb is really tender and the conserve has reached setting point - this should take about 10-15 mins.
• To test for a set, drop ½ tsp of the jam onto a cold saucer, leave it for 30 secs, then gently push it with the tip of your finger. If the jam wrinkles the setting point has been reached. If not, continue to cook for a further couple of minutes and test again.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave to one side for 2-3 mins before pouring into sterilised jars. Seal immediately and label with the date once completely cold.
