RHUBARB & VANILLA JAM

Homemade jam doesn't have to be just a summer treat with this sweet-sharp seasonal recipe

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Breakfast, Condiment, Snack

Time 1h

Yield Makes 3 x 1lb jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

1kg rhubarb , weighed after trimming, cut into 3cm chunks
1kg jam sugar (or 1kg caster sugar plus 1 x 8g sachet pectin - we used Tate & Lyle)
2 vanilla pods , halved lengthways
juice 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Put a small plate in the freezer. Put the rhubarb into a preserving pan or your largest saucepan with the sugar and halved vanilla pods. Heat gently, stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved, then squeeze in the lemon juice and increase the heat.
  • Boil for about 10 mins, skimming off the scum as you go (the fruit should be soft). Test for setting point by spooning a little onto your chilled plate. After 1-2 mins, push your finger through the jam - if the surface wrinkles it is ready, if not, keep cooking for 2-min intervals, testing in between. (Or if you have a sugar thermometer it should reach 105C)
  • Once the jam is ready, let it cool for about 15 mins before ladling into warm sterilised jars and sealing. Will keep for 6 months in a cool, dark place.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB JAM



Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam image

I found a recipe for this jam that I made a few changes to, and this is my final recipe with my changes. It's a hit with all of my friends and family, and I hope that it will be for you as well. I used fresh ripe and home-grown strawberries and rhubarb to make my jam with.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 192

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ¼ cups diced rhubarb
4 ¼ cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 (1.75 ounce) packages powdered fruit pectin
½ teaspoon butter
10 cups white sugar
12 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Place rhubarb, strawberries, lemon juice, fruit pectin, and butter into a large kettle over medium heat. (Butter is optional but helps keep jam from getting too foamy). Stir the fruit mixture to help the juice start to form, and add sugar, about 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and the juice is starting to simmer. Turn up heat to medium-high, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, and cook and stir for 1 minute. Skim off any foam that forms.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. With a jelly funnel and a soup ladle, pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. To help the jam set, don't move or touch the jars until cooled. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB JAM



Strawberry-Rhubarb Jam image

Strawberries and rhubarb are a quintessential spring pairing and making jam with them is a wonderful way to preserve some of their bright flavor long after the season is over. In this recipe, we've bumped up the tart rhubarb to help balance the sweetness of the strawberries and sugar. We've also suggested ways to boost the flavor with simple mix-ins. This jam makes a delicious topping for ice cream or yogurt, or a simple and elegant way to fill a cake in place of frosting.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 1h45m

Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups chopped rhubarb (about ten 12-inch stalks)
3 cups quartered hulled strawberries (about 1 pound)
2 1/2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 lemon plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Toss the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan to combine, then mash slightly to release some of the berry juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the mixture to macerate and the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer to chill; this will be used to test the doneness of the jam.
  • Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. (See Cook's Note for flavor additions.) Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the jam becomes thick and syrupy, about 1 1/2 hours. To test doneness, place a small amount of the jam onto the chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger or spoon through the jam. If the jam holds its shape and thickness, remove from the heat. If it's runny, continue to cook and test again in 5-minute increments. Once the jam has reached the right consistency, transfer to jars and cool completely before storing, covered tightly. Jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

RHUBARB BUNDT CAKE



Rhubarb Bundt Cake image

A swirl of rhubarb jam graces the center of this vanilla-y Bundt cake. This is one of those cakes that keeps well for several days, and may even taste better on the 2nd or 3rd day after baking.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Rhubarb Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
  • Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the rhubarb's tough outer skin, simply pull the stalk through a vegetable peeler. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to peel it.
  • For a tarter jam, use more rhubarb than strawberries. For a sweeter jam, use more strawberries than rhubarb.
  • If you don't have vanilla bean paste, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • To test if the jam is done, place a small dollop on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it in jars. This will help to prevent the jars from breaking.
