Instructions
- Cook rhubarb: In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until softened.
- Simmer: Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (20–30 minutes).
- Add flavor: Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla if using.
- Check consistency: Jam should coat the back of a spoon. Cook longer if needed.
- Cool: Let cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools.
- Store: Transfer to sterilized jars and refrigerate or process for longer storage.
Notes
Adjust sugar based on tartness of rhubarb. For smoother jam, blend slightly before cooling. Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth.
