Rhubarb haul wrapped in the Torygraph
I gathered inspiration from BBC Good Food and adpated the recipe as per the constraints of what was in the house.
1.9 kg rhubarb
2kg granulated sugar
juice of two satsumas and half a lemon
2 teaspoon tried ginger
8cm of fresh ginger grated
vanilla essence
The process of mixing fruit with a load of sugar is called macerating. Leave it overnight and in the morning...
it will look like this.
The jam didn't really set - oops! It turns out rhubarb doesn't have much pectin in it. Mum says that I could call it 'conserve' or 'compote' but I think jam is jam however jammy it is. This is good on toast (who'd a thunk it?) stirred into yoghurt or mixed with fizzy water to make a gingery rhubarb drink!
