Rhubarb Blackberry Jam Recipes

RHUBARB AND BLACKBERRY SNACK CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 13 3/4-by-4 1/4-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, and set aside. Combine the rhubarb and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl, and allow to sit, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has released its juice and the sugar has dissolved, about 45 minutes.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl; set aside. Cream the butter with 2/3 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape seeds from pod, and add seeds to the mixture. Beat to combine. Add reserved flour mixture, and beat to combine. Using a rubber spatula, spoon batter into the prepared pan, and spread flat.
• Strain rhubarb, discarding juice; add blackberries, and toss to combine. Spoon fruit on top of the batter in the pan, sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar, place in the oven, and bake until the cake is golden and center is set, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before removing tart pan.

RHUBARB BERRY JAM

Steps:

• Combine the rhubarb, sugar and blueberry pie filling in a large pot. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, and boil for 10 minutes longer. Stir in dry gelatin mix until dissolved. Transfer to sterile jars or freezer tubs, and cool. Freeze any jam you don't intend to use right away.

FRESH BLUEBERRY RHUBARB JAM

Steps:

• Place the sugar and cassis in a large (8-by-4-inch) heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the rhubarb, blueberries, apple, and lemon zest and toss well to coat the fruit with the cassis and sugar. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until there is a lot of liquid and it comes to a full boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered at a low boil for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has disintegrated and the mixture has thickened. (I test a little by putting some jam in a dish in the freezer to check the consistency when it cools.) If necessary, cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool, then refrigerate.
