Rhubarb Jam Recipe Type : jam Author: The Healthful Ideas Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 15 mins Serves: 1 cup Tart rhubarb jam with a hint of sweetness goes great with sweet breakfasts or desserts. I like to serve mine with chocolate oatmeal, pancakes, ice cream, or cake! The sweet & tart combination is divine! Double the recipe to make a bigger batch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 rhubarb stalks
- 1 tsp water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 1 tbsp coconut nectar or more maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the rhubarb and cut into small pieces (1 cm thick)
- Heat a small saucepan over a medium heat and add the rhubarb and a teaspoon of water so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- When it starts cooking, make sure to keep stirring so it doesn't burn. When the rhubarb releases juices, you can lower the heat a bit and cover it with a lid.
- Cook for 5 minutes and stir occasionally.
- When it turns into a sauce and you can't see many pieces of rhubarb, add the honey.
- Taste and sweeten with more honey if needed, but I like mine quite tart—it goes great with sweet breakfasts.
- If you want a few pieces of rhubarb in the jam, take it off the heat. If you want the jam smoother, keep cooking for a few more minutes until you reach desired consistency.
- Cool completely and store in a glass jar in the fridge for a week.
