Rhubarb-Ginger Jam

Rhubarb+ginger+jam+close+up

I’m home, guys. In my own bed and kitchen. I have lots to tell, but I’ve taken to working on other stories in bed, and so wind up feeling like I’ve written a post here when I’ve actually been completely slacking in that regard. From now on I’ll relegate work to my desk (or couch/front step/coffee shop) and be more selective about who I bring to bed.

In my three-day absence I learned of some fast food trips (those five year olds are talkers) and that W’s new favourite dinner is something called egg hot dog, in which two poached eggs are served up drippily on a leftover hot dog bun from the Big Birthday Party, presumably because there’s no other bread in the house. (There was, however, plenty of fresh spinach, kale and chard that remained untouched. And wait till you see the garden.) I think I should instigate Mike Mondays, and make him cook. What do you think?

Some rummaging around this morning produced a couple scones from the freezer and upon doing inventory of the fridge (I’ve only been home about a day and a half since we cleaned out the fridge and left for Tofino) I came upon a jar of this rhubarb-ginger jam I made when it did not seem possible that the counterload of rhubarb would in any way squeeze into the freezer. And I’m pretty good at Tetris.

I won’t even pretend to write out an elaborate recipe for this – all I did was chop and cook it down, with a thumb-sized piece of ginger lazily sliced in and then plucked out afterward – you could grate it instead, and cook it down with the rhubarb.

Rhubarb-Ginger Jam

AuthorJulie

Yields1 Serving

5 cups chopped rhubarb
2 cups sugar
a few slices of fresh ginger, or a few chunks of chopped candied ginger, or a drizzle of ginger syrup

1

Put everything in a pot, and add a splash of water only if you feel you need the help to get things going. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is soft, thick, and jam-like. Cool, pluck out any large chunks of ginger (if you want to) and store in the fridge. Makes a few cups.

    Hi Julie
    I “discovered” this great combination last time I made rhubarb pie, and wondered if the addition of fresh grated ginger contributed to the beautiful magenta colour! Love your ideas for this quick jam.

    I used to have Morgan Thursdays. The only rules were that he could make whatever he wanted and I wasn’t allowed to complain about what he made. (Ate a lot of scrambled eggs and steak.)

    Oooh, I’ve been dreaming of this exact scrumptiousness, but too wimpy to “do jam”. This looks like my perfect gateway jam.

    I’ve made rhubarb and ginger jam for years (and blogged about it here: http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2007/05/moominmammas-rhubarb-jam-with-ginger.html ) and can confirm that it’s a wonderful combination.
    Unfortunately rhubarb season is long gone here in Estonia – they don’t recommend eating rhubarb after midsummer, due to high acid levels in the stalks in older rhubarb.
    Next year, again 🙂
