- Cook: Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Break down fruit: Cook 20–25 minutes until rhubarb softens and mixture thickens.

Notes
This is a refrigerator jam and keeps for about 2 weeks. For a stronger ginger flavor, add an extra teaspoon of fresh ginger. Great paired with soft cheeses or spread on warm biscuits.
