Rhubarb Jam

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

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.

  • Yield1 cup 1x
  • DietVegan

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

  1. Wash the rhubarb and cut into small pieces (1 cm thick)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes and stir occasionally.
  5. When it turns into a sauce and you can't see many pieces of rhubarb, add the honey.
  6. Taste and sweeten with more honey if needed, but I like mine quite tart—it goes great with sweet breakfasts.
  7. 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.
  8. Cool completely and store in a glass jar in the fridge for a week.
